Principal SoC Physical Implementation/STA Engineer
NXP Semiconductors
- Experienced Static Timing Analysis (STA) Lead with 12+ years of experience doing STA for SoCs and Blocks.
- He/She should have experience of Multi mode timing constraint development, execution, and final timing signoff for advanced technology nodes.
- He/She will work closely with Architects,Front End,DFT and the PD team to understand design,clocking,timing ,Requirements and lead the writing constraints and closing timing activities
- Constraint Development: Create, validate, and maintain Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC) for block and full-chip levels, covering false paths, multicycle paths, and test modes.
- Timing Signoff: Perform exhaustive timing analysis across multiple corners and modes (MCMM), adhering to process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations.
- Violation Debugging: Debug and resolve setup, hold, transition, and path-based violations (PBA).
- Optimization & ECO: Drive timing closure by generating and evaluating timing Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with RTL, physical design, and DFT teams to ensure robust timing integration and refine timing models.
- Tool & Flow Automation: Develop and support implementation flows using industry-standard Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools and improve script-based automation.
- Debugging timing issues from GLS
- Drive a team of STA engineers.
