Job Description

Alphawave Semi is seeking experienced Senior Engineers in Static Timing Analysis (STA) to lead timing convergence for SoCs. Responsibilities include STA setup, convergence, reviews, and sign-off for multi-mode, multi-corner, and multi-voltage domain designs. This role involves constraint generation and maintenance, timing analysis and closure at the full chip level, and supporting the Physical Design team. The engineer will interact with Design, DFT, IP, and PD teams for timing convergence and resolving constraint conflicts, support the verification team for GLS, guide CTS strategies, and manage timing ECO generation. The position involves developing automation scripts within STA tools for methodology development and reporting to the Director of ASIC Engineering.
Good To Have:
  • Good understanding of overall design flow RTL to GDS
  • Good understanding of ASIC Physical Design/DFT, tools and timing convergence implications
  • Knowledge on Perl/TCL/Python scripting language
  • Familiarity with IP level verification and strong RTL debugging capabilities
Must Have:
  • 8+ years of experience in STA sign-off for tape outs
  • Hands-on experience in block/full chip timing constraints development and management
  • Deep understanding of DFT constraints
  • Synthesis & STA experience on lower node technologies with Synopsys/Cadence Tools
  • In-depth understanding of library/memory/collateral dependencies on STA
  • Understanding of ultra submicron issues, variation/aging aware design sign-off
  • Understanding of CTS/clock distribution methodologies
  • Good knowledge on timing budgets
  • Experience on multi-voltage designs using CPF/UPF
  • Good understanding of timing/area/power/complexity tradeoffs
  • Hands-on experience on power analysis using PTPX
  • Good understanding of VHDL/Verilog constructs
  • Experience troubleshooting issues and communicating updates to users/customers
  • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to peers
Perks:
  • Competitive Compensation Package
  • Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
  • Provisions to pursue advanced education from Premium Institute, eLearning content providers
