bengaluru, karnataka, india

On-site

Lead and develop timing methodologies, establish SDC constraints, and automate processes for special timing checks, ensuring design convergence and managing ECOs effectively. Perform static timing analysis setup and sign-off for multi-corner, multi-voltage processes to align with PPA targets, initially at the hierarchical level and subsequently at the top-level, reviewing the timing arcs for the .lib generation. Collaborate closely with RTL, DFT, and IP teams to ensure smooth integration and address physical design concerns affecting scan shift and scan capture modes for DFT. Identify opportunities to optimize clock skew and insertion delay across various corners and modes. Evaluate the clock/reset-domain-crossing (CDC/RDC) issues at the netlisting stage and offer feedback on design fixes or establish waivers if the changes are not feasible. Implement power-saving strategies, such as power gating, multi-voltage domains, and clock gating, to meet low-power objectives while preserving performance standards. Create and refine custom scripts using Tcl, Perl, or Python to enhance workflow efficiency and streamline physical design operations. Mentor and support junior physical design engineers, disseminating best practices and providing technical guidance to elevate team proficiency and performance. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: Over 8-10+ years of professional experience in constraints generation, synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), and IP-level timing and physical design, with a preference for high-performance SerDes designs. Proven ability in timing analysis, convergence, timing ECOs, and .lib generation. Experience with STA closure on PHYs & understanding the timing requirements across digital and analog macro interfaces is a plus. Proficient in physical design tools such as Synopsys ICC2, Primetime, and the ASIC design flow. Skilled in scripting with Tcl, Python, or Perl to automate and streamline physical design tasks. Excellent problem-solving, leadership, and communication skills and values team culture. Capable of thriving in fast-paced environments and managing multiple projects simultaneously.
