STA Engineers

Static Timing Analysis (STA) Engineer

Job Summary The Static Timing Analysis (STA) Engineer will own the timing sign-off and closure for complex integrated circuits (ICs) and / or System-on-Chips (SoCs). This role involves defining and validating timing constraints, performing multi-mode multi-corner (MMMC) timing analysis, and collaborating with design and physical design teams to achieve the target operating frequency and performance metrics.

Key Responsibilities

• Timing Sign-off and Analysis
• Timing Closure Ownership : Drive all aspects of timing closure from pre-layout to post-layout for blocks, sub-systems, and / or the full chip.
• Constraint Management : Develop, validate, and maintain Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC) and timing constraints for all functional and test modes (e.g., Scan, MBIST).
• MMMC Analysis : Perform comprehensive timing analysis across multiple operating corners (Process, Voltage, Temperature - PVT) and various modes (Multi-Mode Multi-Corner).
• Critical Path Identification : Analyze timing reports to identify and debug critical paths and resolve all Setup and Hold violations.
• Signal Integrity (SI) & Noise : Incorporate advanced timing effects such as on-chip variation (OCV), signal integrity (crosstalk), and voltage drop (IR-drop aware STA) into the sign-off process.
