About the role

IP timing lead responsible for end-to-end IP timing convergence from synthesis to sign-off, owning netlist generation, timing constraints, and integration of external IP within pre-silicon development for next-generation chip designs.

Responsibilities

  • Own the entire IP-level netlist generation and timing convergence journey from synthesis to sign-off
  • Drive synthesis, UPF power intent, scan insertion, and external IP integration
  • Architect timing constraints for standard and complex custom designs to ensure sign-off quality from day one
  • Collaborate with RTL designers to understand design intent and clock architecture
  • Partner with CAD teams to optimize flows
  • Work with Physical Design engineers to achieve timing sign-off
  • Identify and resolve timing challenges to accelerate convergence and reduce pessimism in timing analysis

Qualifications

  • Bsc/Msc in Electrical Engineering
  • 5+ years of experience in the field
  • At least 2+ years of experience in writing ASIC timing constraints and achieving timing closure
  • Expertise in STA tools (Primetime) and flow generation
  • Knowledge of the ASIC design timing closure flow and methodology
  • Understanding of timing corners/modes
  • Familiarity with process variations and signal integrity-related issues
  • Hands-on experience in generating and managing timing/SDC constraints, proficient in scripting languages (Tcl and Perl)
  • Knowledge of synthesis, DFT, and backend-related methodologies and tools
  • Strong communication skills to interact with various groups
