This position involves the development of timing constraints and timing closure signoff of low power Wireless SoCs and IP systems. These SoC devices are multi-core, multi-threaded processor subsystems with multi-level cache, capable of supporting multiple wireless protocols and application functionality, such as sensor hub, AI /ML and are specified to exceed best-in-class power targets.  These SoCs deploy a complex, deeply gated clock network with many asynchronous clock sources. 

Responsibilities 

• Develop timing constraints at both the IP and SoC level in collaboration with the designers
• Improve or evolve existing static timing analysis flows and methodologies. 
• Develop required timing signoff criteria, such as aging, on chip variation, and signal integrity
• Analyze timing reports using scripting techniques to develop insights and drive rapid timing closure
• Collaborate with a global design team to resolve complex static timing issues
• Collaborate with a multi-functional team to drive timing closure for mixed-signal IP integration
  

Skills You Will Need 
Minimum Qualifications 

• Bachelor or master’s degree in electrical or computer engineering and 8+ years’ experience
• In depth knowledge of the timing closure flow and methodology

• Experience in timing constraint development, both functional and test modes (such as scan)
• Hands-on experience with static timing tools, such as Tempus or Primetime
• In depth knowledge of scripting languages like Perl, Python, Tcl, shell
• Knowledge of timing closure modes and corners
• Knowledge of low power design methodology (static/dynamic clock gating, power gating, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling)
• Knowledge of timing model generation of mixed signal IP
• Knowledge of design flows including Lint, CDC, Synthesis, Logic Equivalence, DFT, Place and Route
• Knowledge of Verilog and System Verilog
