STA Engineer

Job Responsibilities:

• Perform
  detailed STA on digital designs used in networking and audio
  solutions at various stages of the IC design flow (pre -layout,
  post -layout).
  
• Identify, analyze, and
  resolve timing violations in critical paths, ensuring low latency and high
  throughput for networking and audio processing applications.
  
• Conduct multi -mode,
  multi -corner (MMMC) analysis to ensure timing closure under different
  operating conditions, including power -saving modes.
  
• Develop, validate, and
  optimize timing constraints tailored for high -speed networking interfaces
  and high -fidelity audio processing circuits.
  
• Define and validate
  clock definitions, I/O constraints, multi -cycle paths, and false paths,
  ensuring robust performance in real -world applications.
  
• Work closely with the
  Physical Design team to address timing issues, suggest optimizations, and
  support clock distribution for complex networking and audio processing
  circuits.
  
• Perform final timing
  analysis and sign -off, ensuring that our ICs meet stringent timing, area,
  and power requirements for networking and audio applications.
  
• Work with post -silicon
  validation teams to correlate timing models with actual silicon
  measurements, ensuring that our networking and audio solutions perform as
  expected in the field.

  domain.
  
• Strong understanding of
  digital design principles, timing concepts, and semiconductor physics.
  
• Experience with timing
  analysis for designs at 28nm and below, with a focus on high -speed data
  and signal processing.
  
• Proficiency
  in STA tools such as Synopsys PrimeTime, Cadence Tempus, or
  similar.
  
• Solid understanding of
  CMOS technology, standard cell libraries, and PVT variations, with a focus
  on high -performance networking and audio applications.
  
• Strong scripting skills
  (e.g., TCL, Perl, Python) for automation of STA processes.
  
• Ability to work in a
  collaborative environment, with excellent communication and
  problem -solving skills.
  
• Experience with timing
  analysis for high -speed networking interfaces (e.g., Ethernet, Wi -Fi) or
  audio processing circuits (e.g., DACs, ADCs).
  
• Familiarity with
  low -power design techniques and their impact on timing.
