  • Innovating and streamlining design flows, improving existing infrastructure to enhance timing sign-off efficiency and accelerate execution speed.

Minimum Qualifications:

• BS or MS Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 10 Years Experience with ASIC design timing closure flow (STA) and methodology.

• Hands-on experience with ASIC timing constraints generation and validation, clock domain crossing checks, and timing closure.

• Expertise in STA tools (such as Primetime) and methodologies for timing, and simulating timing paths in Spice.

• Demonstrated familiarity with all aspects of timing closure of high-performance, mixed-signal SoCs in advanced process technology nodes (7nm and below).

• Experience in scripting languages (Tcl and Perl).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience of Networking technologies and concepts.

• Experience of asynchronous/CDC designs/implementations.

• Familiarity with RTL, synthesis, logic equivalence, DFT, and backend related methodology and tools.
