SMTS Silicon Design Engineer (Full Chip Timing /Constraints Lead)
THE ROLE:
As a member of the Strategic Silicon Solutions Group Physical design team, you will help bring to life cutting-edge designs. As a member and lead of the Backend Full Chip Timing team, you will work closely with the PD architects, design leads, IP teams, Physical Design leads and PD/STA engineers to achieve first-pass silicon success. You will be expected to lead design closure activities in the backend from a timing closure perspective. The role will require a deep understanding of timing constraints development as well as FCT timing signoff.
THE PERSON:
This person will work closely with Fellows, Principal Engineers, Architects, collaborate with cross functional worldwide teams across Physical Design, Timing Analysis, Synthesis, Physical Verification, Power signoff, and mentor/coach/guide Design Engineers. The candidate should be highly accurate and detail-oriented, possessing good communication and problem-solving skills.
KEY RESPONSIBLITIES:
- Lead the full chip timing team for constraints and timing signoff.
- Own end-to-end delivery of designs (SOC and Sub-system integration) from timing constraints and timing signoff perspective.
- Work closely with the SOC Architecture team for SOC clocks & STA for statistical timing target goals.
- Understanding clock design requirements and making sure they are correctly set up in SDC.
- Understand timing margins (LVF/SSTA/Variations etc.) on the latest tech nodes and work with timing methodology teams for future and current projects.
- Understand design requirements, timelines and various milestones of a project and deliver FCT closure accordingly.
- Lead the timing ECO phase and plan for on-time project tape out.
- Collaborate with CAD and EDA vendors to further strengthen AMD timing closure and constraints methodology.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Experienced PD professional with 12+ years of industry experience in STA, constraints, timing signoff and physical design
- Expert user of industry-standard PD tools like SNPS PT/GCA (must) and ICC2/FC (desired).
- Good experience and understanding of DFT timing concepts, MBIST, Top level clock -implementation, Place and Route flows -floorplanning and placement, CTS and Route.
- Good experience with Perl/TCL/Shell/Python scripting, and Verilog RTL design.
- Excellent presentation and inter-communication skills.
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
- Bachelors or Master's degree in Computer/Electronics/Electrical Engineering
