Job Title : STA Engineer – VLSI
Location : Bangalore
Company : Tessolve
Experience Required : 4+ years
Educational Qualifications : Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical / Electronics Engineering, VLSI, or related fields
Job Description :
We are seeking a skilled Static Timing Analysis (STA) Engineer with experience in the VLSI domain. The ideal candidate will be responsible for performing and analyzing timing across full-chip and block-level designs, ensuring timing closure across various process-voltage-temperature (PVT) corners.
Key Responsibilities :
- Perform block-level and full-chip STA using industry tools (Primetime, Tempus, etc.)
- Work closely with physical design (PD), synthesis, and signoff teams to achieve timing closure
- Analyze timing reports, identify violations (setup / hold / DRC), and drive fixes
- Collaborate with RTL, synthesis, and backend teams to optimize timing paths
- Handle timing constraints (SDC), clock definitions, and exceptions
- Conduct timing ECO analysis and implementation
- Support multiple PVT corners, modes, and timing scenarios
- Debug false paths, multi-cycle paths, and clock domain crossings
- Ensure signoff closure with all relevant timing and signal integrity checks
️ Required Skills :
Strong hands-on experience with Primetime, Tempus, or other STA toolsGood understanding of timing concepts, timing arcs, and delay calculationProficiency in SDC, TCL, and scripting (Perl, Python, etc.)Familiarity with synthesis, place & route, and physical verification flowsExposure to signoff timing closure in advanced nodes (e.g., 7nm, 5nm, etc.)
