Summary: Seeking a highly skilled and experienced Lead STA Engineer to lead and execute static timing analysis for complex semiconductor designs, ensuring timing closure and performance targets are met. This role involves guiding a team, developing methodologies, and collaborating with design and verification teams to deliver high-quality products.

Job Qualification:
• Master's degree or Bachelor's degree in Electronics/ Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 7+ years of hands-on experience in static timing analysis for complex ASIC/SoC designs.
• Experience of Multi mode timing constraint development, execution, and final timing signoff for advanced technology nodes
• Proven experience leading STA efforts for multiple successful tape-outs.
• Expertise in industry-standard STA tools (e.g., Synopsys PrimeTime, Cadence Tempus).
• Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals, clocking architectures, and low-power techniques
• In-depth knowledge of timing constraints (SDC) and their application.




• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Perl, Python, or TCL.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a global team setting.
• Work closely with Architects,Front End,DFT and the PD team to understand design,clocking,timing ,Requirements and lead the writing constraints and closing timing activities

Key Responsibilities
• Constraint Development: Create, validate, and maintain Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC) for block and full-chip levels, covering false paths, multicycle paths, and test modes.
• Timing Signoff: Perform exhaustive timing analysis across multiple corners and modes (MCMM), adhering to process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations.
• Violation Debugging: Debug and resolve setup, hold, transition, and path-based violations (PBA).
• Optimization & ECO: Drive timing closure by generating and evaluating timing Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).
• Cross-functional
