We are looking for a Principal Fullchip STA Engineer . As member of our DPU silicon team, your expertise in fullchip STA, timing ECOs, and timing quality are critical to our mission.

　　Responsibilities

　　Develop block & fullchip STA constraints; take ownership of critical IP interface constraints, verify correct implementation/integration and use of exceptions

　　Verify constraints quality and completeness

　　Build and update fullchip timing models for all design phases (early, intermediate, final signoff); generate timing reports & drive feedback to block owners to accelerate convergence

　　Analyze critical interfaces and ensure blocks have proper budgets for convergence

　　Drive ECO process for signoff

　　Qualifications

　　Required qualifications:

　　Bachelor’s degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or related field

　　10+ years of physical design experience, with focus on STA at cluster or fullchip levels, and a track record of successful tapeouts in advanced process nodes

　　Strong experience with Synopsys PrimeTime for analysis and DMSA ECO flows

　　Strong understanding of timing constraints (exceptions, budgeting, CDC issues, clocking constraints)

　　Strong scripting skills in Perl or TCL

　　Preferred qualifications:

　　15 years of physical design experience, with focus on STA at cluster or fullchip levels, and a track record of successful tapeouts in advanced process nodes

　　Experience with PrimeClosure/PrimeECO flows

　　Experience with flow automation for timing/budgeting flows

　　Strong scripting skills in Perl or TCL

　　Strong understanding of timing constraints (exceptions, budgeting, CDC issues, clocking constraints)

　　Strong understanding of derating & margining methodologies

　　Tapeout experience in TSMC 7nm or below, or comparable
