Senior Engineer

Job Title

Senior Engineer

Role Summary

Timing and signoff engineer responsible for timing constraints, static timing analysis (STA) and ECO flows at block and SoC level. Works with design, physical design, constraint teams and EDA vendors to achieve timing closure on advanced process nodes.

Experience Level

Senior. The posting requests 2–5 years of relevant experience in physical implementation and signoff methodologies.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities focus on timing closure and ECO management across blocks and SoC integration.

• Develop and validate timing constraints for functional and test modes.
• Perform static timing analysis and drive timing closure at block/subsystem and SoC level.
• Generate ECOs, coordinate fixes with PD, design and constraints teams, and track ECOs to closure.
• Collaborate with EDA vendors and cross-functional silicon engineering groups to resolve timing issues.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for immediate contribution.

• Experience performing timing closure at both SoC and block level.
• Hands-on experience with STA and ECO tools such as PrimeTime, Tempus, Tweaker.
• IP integration experience and timing signoff responsibility.
• Experience on lower technology nodes, preferably sub-7nm.
• Proficient scripting skills (TCL, Perl or Python) for flow automation and data analysis.
• Strong data analysis, presentation, communication and problem-solving skills.
• Experience collaborating across silicon engineering teams and with EDA vendors.
• Work experience: 2–5 years in physical implementation and signoff methodologies.
