Static Timing Analysis Engineer

Silicon Laboratories•Austin, TX

2d•Hybrid

About The Position

This position involves developing timing constraints and performing timing-closure signoff for low-power wireless SoCs and IP systems. The devices are multi-core, multi-threaded processor subsystems with multi-level cache, support multiple wireless protocols and application functionality such as sensor hubs and AI/ML, and are designed to exceed best-in-class power targets. They use complex, deeply gated clock networks with many asynchronous clock sources.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical or computer engineering and 8+ years of experience.
In-depth knowledge of timing-closure flows and methodology.
Experience developing timing constraints for 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 such as Perl, Python, Tcl, and shell.
Knowledge of timing-closure modes and corners.
Knowledge of low-power design methodology, including static/dynamic clock gating, power gating, and dynamic voltage and frequency scaling.
Knowledge of timing-model generation for mixed-signal IP.
Knowledge of design flows including Lint, CDC, synthesis, logic equivalence, DFT, and place and route.
Knowledge of Verilog and SystemVerilog.

Responsibilities

Develop timing constraints at the IP and SoC levels in collaboration with designers.
Improve or evolve existing static timing analysis flows and methodologies.
Develop timing signoff criteria, including 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 cross-functional team to drive timing closure for mixed-signal IP integration.
