We are now looking for a motivated Senior Timing Closure Engineer to join our dynamic and growing Circuit Solutions Group! If you are a highly motivated individual who excels at improving netlist and timing quality and enjoys solving complex technical challenges through collaboration, we want to hear from you.

What you'll be doing:

+ Participate in groundbreaking processor design in deep submicron technologies.

+ Work as part of a global circuits team alongside custom circuit designers to drive timing analysis and closure of custom circuit macros (digital, semi-custom and mixed-signal analog).

+ Apply knowledge and experience to standardize and improve timing convergence flows working with methodology teams.

+ Develop timing models and methodology for innovative and unique custom macro designs at transistor level.

+ Develop timing models and methodology for standard cell and mixed-signal custom macro designs.

+ Validate timing of custom circuit designs using NanoTime and various SPICE simulations to ensure proper timing of innovative circuit topologies.

+ Work with circuit designers, tool developers, and methodology teams to validate transistor level timing accuracy and correctness.

+ Work with PD, DFX, Clocks, and other teams on timing closure strategy, timing constraints, timing and power convergence, DFT, as well as ECO implementation.

What we need to see:

+ BS (or equivalent experience) in Electrical or Computer Engineering

+ 6+ years of experience for Masters and 8+ years for Bachelors with majority of experience in custom circuit timing analysis/closure.

+ Expertise and in depth knowledge of industry standard transistor level STA tools such as NanoTime and timing convergence tools.

+ Solid experience in timing constraints generation & management, and timing analysis/closure with mixed-signal designs.

+ Basic level understanding of transistor-level circuits and SPICE simulations for correlation to static timing and noise results.

+ Expertise in analysis and fixing of timing paths through ECOs including crosstalk and noise analysis.

+ Knowledge in process variation effect modeling and experience in design convergence taking into account process variations.

+ Familiarity with clocking specs such as jitter, IR drop, crosstalk, etc.

+ Solid understanding of timing models and the usage of .libs in NanoTime as well as PrimeTime

+ Great teammate with outstanding interpersonal skills.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

+ Understanding of DFT logic and experience with DFT timing closure for various modes e.g., scan, BIST, etc.

+ Understanding of timing closure of digital logic/macros in AMS designs/IPs.

+ Experience in critical path planning and crafting.

+ Experience in methodology and/or flow development as well as automation.

+ Knowledge of deep sub-micron process nodes and hands-on experience in modeling and converging timing in these nodes with strong scripting skills for flow automation; experience with TCL, Python is a plus.
