STA Engineer

Job Title

STA Engineer

Role Summary

Join Broadcom's ASIC Products Division (APD) in Fort Collins to lead static timing analysis and timing closure for high-performance, power-efficient ASICs. The role coordinates with logic and physical design teams to analyze timing, implement ECOs for tapeout, and build timing flows and infrastructure.

Experience Level

Level - Senior. The posting specifies 10+ years of relevant industry experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include technical timing analysis, coordination with design teams, and maintaining timing methodologies.

• Work with design teams to debug constraints and facilitate logic changes to improve timing.
• Coordinate with Physical Design and Logic Design teams to identify and resolve timing issues.
• Create and implement timing ECOs for project tapeout.
• Develop and maintain scripts and methodologies for timing analysis and runs.
• Document timing guidelines, specifications, and best practices.
• Perform deep analysis of timing paths to identify and prioritize root causes.
• Implement and maintain timing infrastructure and flows.
• Communicate issues clearly and follow them through to resolution.

Requirements

Technical must-haves and preferred skills for this role.

• Hands-on STA experience with large, high-performance SoC designs in sub-micron technologies.
• Proficiency in STA and timing-closure standards and flows; skilled with industry-standard timing tools.
• Deep understanding of noise, crosstalk, OCV effects, and timing margin fundamentals from synthesis to sign-off.
• Familiarity with circuit modeling (including SPICE models) and worst-case corner selection.
• Strong scripting/programming skills, particularly Perl and TCL.
• Experience with Multi-Scenario Timing Closure and ECO techniques is highly beneficial.

Education Requirements

MSEE (Master of Science in Electrical Engineering) or equivalent is required. The posting also specifies 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
