Job Description

We are seeking an experienced

Lead STA Engineer

to take ownership of the static timing closure process for complex ASIC/SoC designs. In this role, you will lead timing sign-off activities, coordinate with cross-functional teams, and ensure designs meet performance, power, and area targets while achieving first-pass silicon success.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own and drive

    timing closure

    for multiple blocks or full-chip designs from synthesis through tape-out.
  • Develop and maintain

    timing constraints (SDC)

    for synthesis, place-and-route, and sign-off flows.
  • Perform

    setup, hold, recovery, and removal analysis

    using industry-standard STA tools.
  • Analyze timing reports and debug violations, providing guidance to physical design, RTL, and DFT teams.
  • Work closely with clock, power, and signal integrity engineers to address timing and noise-related issues.
  • Lead STA reviews with design and physical implementation teams, ensuring issues are tracked and resolved.
  • Collaborate with methodology teams to enhance STA flows and timing sign-off quality.
  • Contribute to methodology improvements for STA and PNR flows.
  • Mentor and guide junior engineers in STA and timing-driven PNR techniques.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor s or Master s degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering or related field.
  • 10-12 years

    of hands-on experience in STA for large, complex ASIC/SoC designs.
  • Proven

    PNR experience

    to handle flat SoC designs in Cadence flow.
    Solid understanding of

    multi-mode, multi-corner (MMMC)

    timing analysis.
  • Proficiency in

    timing constraints writing

    (SDC), clock domain crossing (CDC) considerations, and asynchronous interface analysis.
  • Experience with

    ECO timing closure

    and post-route sign-off.
    Prior experience in

    team leadership or technical mentoring

    .

    Nice-to-Have:

    Familiarity with scripting languages (

    Tcl, Perl, Python

    ) for flow automation.
    Exposure to low-power design techniques (UPF/CPF).
  • Knowledge of signal integrity, EM/IR drop impacts on timing.
  • Experience in the

    automotive industry

    is a plus
