Job Description:

We are looking for an experienced STA & Timing Closure Engineer to lead static timing analysis and signoff execution for high-complexity, multi-GHz System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures on advanced FinFET and GAA nodes (5nm, 3nm, 2nm). In this role, you will take end-to-end ownership of full-chip and block-level timing closure across complex multi-voltage, multi-frequency domains, ensuring first-pass silicon success while maximizing Performance, Power, and Area (PPA) metrics.

Key Responsibilities

• Multi-Mode Multi-Corner (MMMC) STA: Architect, configure, and maintain rigorous STA environments across hundreds of process, voltage, temperature (PVT), and operational modes
• Develop, audit, constraints for complex clock structures
• Timing Closure Loop Execution: Collaborate closely with physical design teams to analyze timing bottlenecks; generate precise ECOs—both automated and functional/manual.
• Foundry Interface & Signoff Verification: Validate timing margins against foundry standard cell, macro, and interface IP characterization data. Run strict signoff audits to guarantee zero critical timing violations prior to tapeout.

Requirements:

• BS Degree in Electrical Engineering and 12+ years related experience or MS in Electrical Engineering and 10+ years related work experience.
