About the role

ASIC STA Engineer responsible for timing sign-off, STA and sign-off flow development, and ownership of IP and block level timing constraints across synthesis to sign-off to achieve high-quality timing. Collaborates with RTL, CAD, and Physical Design to ensure timing closure and implements innovative timing constraints and flows.

Responsibilities

  • Timing sign-off and flow development for SoC design
  • Ownership of IP and block-level timing constraints for regular and custom timing requirements
  • Collaborate with RTL designers to understand design intent and clock structure
  • Collaborate with CAD to develop timing flow
  • Collaborate with Physical Design to close and sign-off timing
  • Develop verification ideas for timing constraints
  • Innovate timing constraints and flows to facilitate timing closure and mitigate pessimism in timing analysis

Qualifications

  • Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
  • Proven knowledge of ASIC design timing closure flow and methodology
  • 2+ years of experience in writing ASIC timing constraints and timing closure
  • Expertise in STA tools (Primetime) and flow, knowledge of timing corners/modes, process variations and signal integrity issues
  • Hands-on experience in timing/SDC constraints generation and management
  • Proficient in scripting languages (Tcl and Perl)
  • Familiarity with synthesis, DFT and backend related methodology and tools
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with diverse groups
  • Self-starter and highly motivated to succeed at Apple
