_____________________________
Responsibilities
• Lead and execute STA closure for complex SoC designs, ensuring all timing constraints are met across multiple corners and modes.
• Perform comprehensive Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) analysis to identify and resolve timing issues caused by signal coupling, IR drop, and ground bounce.
• Develop and implement chip finishing strategies, including ECO flows (Engineering Change Orders), to ensure designs are ready for tape-out.
• Drive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) initiatives by collaborating with the design and foundry teams to optimize the physical layout for manufacturability and yield.
• Work closely with the physical design (PD) team to provide guidance on timing-driven placement and routing.
• Develop and improve STA methodologies, scripts, and flows to increase efficiency and accuracy.
• Effectively communicate technical challenges, progress, and solutions to cross-functional teams and management.
• Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in STA closure for complex digital designs.
• Proven expertise in Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) analysis, including understanding of crosstalk and IR drop effects.
• Solid knowledge of chip finishing methodologies, including timing sign-off and tape-out readiness checks.
• Familiarity with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles and their application in physical design.
• Experience with industry-standard EDA tools for STA (e.g., PrimeTime, Tempus).
