Static Timing Analysis

Role: STA Engineer Job Description Key Responsibilities: Develop, review, and maintain robust SDC constraints (clocks, I/O, generated clocks, timing exceptions). Perform block‑level and full‑chip STA using PrimeTime/Tempus and ensure timing closure across all MMMC scenarios. Own RTL synthesis (Design Compiler/Fusion Compiler/Genus), including constraint setup, QoR optimization, and netlist quality checks. Analyze timing violations, identify root causes, and collaborate with RTL, PD, and architecture teams to resolve issues. Validate constraints across synthesis, PnR, and sign‑off stages to ensure correctness and consistency. Drive timing ECOs and support post‑route optimization to achieve sign‑off timing. Generate timing reports, summarize key risks, and propose optimization strategies. Mentor junior engineers on STA, SDC, and synthesis best practices. Required Skills & Experience: 4 years of hands‑on experience in STA, constraints development, and synthesis. Strong understanding of ST...
