Experienced Full Chip Timing Designer

Performs timing analysis and timing optimization, generates, and verifies timing constraints, and fixes timing violations at chip/block level for SoCs. Conducts timing rollups, designs for functionality, and develops performance and power optimized clock networks. Develops and defines methodologies to ensure highest quality of timing models that enable the physical design team to operate efficiently. Defines the right process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) conditions to be used for timing analysis for a given design based on the product plans such as operating conditions and binning. Works closely with the clocking team and other backend full chip designers for clocking balance, timing fixes, power delivery, and partitioning. Collaborates with architecture, clocking design, and logic design teams to deliver flow development for chip integration and validates high performance low power clock network guidelines.

About the Team

The Full Chip Timing (FCT) Design Automation team plays a critical role in supporting all aspects of full chip timing integration. Our mission is to enable seamless timing closure and optimization across the entire backend flow. We develop and maintain automation environments, tools, and methodologies that ensure high-quality timing models and constraint management.

Qualifications:

What you will do:

• Build and maintain automation environments for timing model generation
• Support backend platforms to resolve timing violations
• Drive timing closure across physical design stages
• Innovate with AI-based tools, indicators, and ad-hoc automation
• Own constraint management and budgeting flows using top high end CAD tools

What we are looking for:

• BSC Electronics Engineering or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in scripting and software development (TCL, Python, AI-based coding tools).
• Deep knowledge of backend design: synthesis, place & route (P&R), STA (Primetime preferred)
• Hands-on experience with optimization flows of STA tools
• Proactive, self-driven mindset with strong ownership attitude
• Customer-focused and collaborative team player
• Curious, innovative, and eager to push boundaries
