Might act as project lead and provide assistance to lower level professionals. Exercises independent judgment and consults with others to determine best method for accomplishing work and achieving objectives.

Responsibilities:

• Perform static timing analysis for hierarchical designs at both partition and full-chip levels.
• Create, validate, and maintain timing constraints and timing budgets for design and process requirements.
• Drive timing closure for partition-level and full-chip designs, including setup, hold, clock, I/O, and test timing.
• Analyze timing reports, identify critical paths, and implement fixes to achieve performance, power, and area objectives.
• Perform synthesis, netlist quality checks, and formal verification.
• Support chip partitioning, floorplanning, and physical design implementation.
• Create and manage functional engineering change orders (ECOs).
• Develop flow automation and methodology improvements for synthesis, timing analysis, formal verification, physical design, and signoff, often using AI to improve methodologies.
• Partner with cross-functional engineering teams to promote physical-design-aware architecture and implementation.
• Review design and project activities for compliance with ASIC technology, methodology, and development standards.
• Collaborate with external physical design partners to close timing and complete back-end flows.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to less-experienced engineers and contribute to continuous improvement across the design organization.

• Static timing analysis and timing signoff
• Timing constraints and validation
• Synthesis and netlist quality analysis
• Formal verification
• Floorplanning and chip partitioning
• ECO implementation
• Experience with industry-standard EDA tools, such as Synopsys Fusion Compiler, Design Compiler, PrimeTime, or Formality, and/or Cadence RTL Compiler, Genus, or LEC.
• Strong analytical and problem solving skills.
• Strong experience in designing VLSI components, integrated circuitry, architectures and algorithms.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively across multiple engineering disciplines.
• Strong knowledge of a programming and scripting, hardware description language, electronic design automation (EDA), and/or FPGA tools. Coursework in VLSI design or VLSI concepts.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; mastery in English and local language.
• Subject matter knowledge in major areas of responsibility. Growing breadth of understanding and a depth of specific expertise.

This position provides an opportunity to contribute to the development of sophisticated ASIC products while partnering with experts across architecture, design, physical implementation, DFT, signal integrity, and related disciplines. The successful candidate will bring strong technical expertise, a continuous-improvement mindset, and a commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality designs.
