Our client is a leading startup in the semiconductor field and a leader in designing ultra low-power microprocessors. The Singapore office houses the Regional Technology Design Center which will be driving the growth and innovation for its products.
Lead, Timing Signoff Engineer
(Senior Staff / Staff Engineer level)
Responsibilities:
· Reporting to the Technology, Advanced Development (located in Singapore), you will be the lead to plan timing related activities for the company’s next-generation technology development including
o defining signoff criteria, analysis, design methodology development
o day-to-day management of tape-outs driven by Advanced Development team.
o work closely with other members of the Advanced Development team and the broader engineering community to develop and deploy Timing signoff related flows and methodologies to support production chip development
· Define and own SoC timing signoff criteria, process corners, derates, uncertainties, and their tradeoffs. Be responsible for delivering system-on-chip (SoC) Full-Chip Static Timing Analysis.
· Define and own full chip timing constraint creation and validation, timing signoff checklist criteria, perform full chip STA, timing ECO creation and oversee final timing signoff for SoCs. Drive clock tree planning and implementation for SoCs to achieve best energy, performance, and area.
· Be responsible for synthesis, PI, reliability signoff and ESD analysis, drive feedback, and recommend design solutions. Work with product development teams to rapidly deploy timing related methods in products.
· Plan and lead timing and other related activities for test chips owned by the Advanced Development team. As part of this effort, lead a small group of internal and/or contract resources.
· Maintain a relationship with and collaborate with 3rd party CAD tool vendors and fab during the development of new flows and methodologies. Validate and refine new techniques as part of a team that is building complex test chips in advanced FinFET nodes
Requirements
· Minimum Bachelor’s or Masters Degree with 10 years of hands-on experience in Static Timning Analysis, flows and methodologies for timing closure and have a strong understanding of noise, crosstalk, and OCV effects, aging, HTOL, soft errors in advanced FinFET nodes (16nm, 12nm, 7nm, 5nm)
· Proficient in Synthesis, place and route, UPF, Power integrity and reliability signoffs. Familiar with circuit modeling, including SPICE models, and worst-case corner selection.
· Experience with large design STA and Timing Closure. Familiar with ECO techniques and implementation. Experience with STA signoff constraint authoring for full-chip level, tape-out signoff requirements, checklists, and associated automation.
· Experience in Cadence EDA tools (e.g., Genus, Innovus Tempus).
