STA Lead

STA Lead

Location: Bengaluru, India

Experience: 6–10 Years

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled STA Lead to drive timing closure and signoff for complex SoC, CPU, AI/ML, and high-performance computing designs at advanced technology nodes. This is a hands-on technical role focused on timing analysis, signoff quality, methodology development, and achieving first-pass silicon success.

Key Responsibilities

• Own block and subsystem-level STA closure from synthesis through signoff.
• Drive timing budgeting, constraints development, MCMM analysis, and timing convergence.
• Analyze and resolve setup/hold, OCV/AOCV/POCV, CRPR, crosstalk, CDC, and timing ECO challenges.
• Collaborate closely with RTL, synthesis, physical design, CTS, SI, and signoff teams to achieve timing closure.
• Support timing signoff reviews and tapeout readiness activities.
• Develop automation and productivity improvements using scripting.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, VLSI, or related fields.
• 6–10 years of experience in STA, timing closure, and signoff for advanced-node SoC designs.
• Strong expertise in:
• Static Timing Analysis (STA)
• MCMM Timing Closure
• OCV/AOCV/POCV, CRPR
• SDC Constraints Development & Validation
• Crosstalk and Noise Analysis
• Clock Architecture and CTS
• Timing ECO Methodologies
• RTL-to-GDSII Implementation Flow
• Hands-on experience with PrimeTime, Tempus, Fusion Compiler, Innovus, and Tcl/Python/Perl scripting.
• Experience with CPU, GPU, AI Accelerator, Networking, or High-Performance SoC designs is highly desirable.
• Proven track record of driving timing closure and supporting successful tapeouts.

Preferred

• Experience mentoring junior engineers and leading timing closure activities.
• Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Exposure to advanced technology nodes (7nm/5nm/3nm) and silicon correlation activities.

Join us to solve challenging timing problems and enable the next generation of high-performance semiconductor products.
