Principal Static Timing Analysis Engineer

Principal Static Timing Analysis Engineer, Austin, TX

This position involves the development of timing constraints and timing closure signoff of low‑power Wireless SoCs and IP systems. These SoC devices are multi‑core, multi‑threaded processor subsystems with multi‑level cache, capable of supporting multiple wireless protocols and application functionality, such as sensor hub, AI/ML and are specified to exceed best‑in‑class power targets. These SoCs deploy a complex, deeply gated clock network with many asynchronous clock sources.

• Develop timing constraints at both the IP and SoC level in collaboration with the designers
• Improve or evolve existing static timing analysis flows and methodologies
• Develop required timing signoff criteria, such as 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 multi‑functional team to drive timing closure for mixed‑signal IP integration

• 15+ years in industry
• Bachelor or Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering
• In depth knowledge of the timing closure flow and methodology
• Experience in timing constraint development, both functional and test modes (e.g., scan)
• Hands‑on experience with static timing tools, such as Tempus or Prime Time
• In depth knowledge of scripting languages like Perl, Python, Tcl, and shell
• Knowledge of timing closure modes and corners
• Knowledge of low‑power design methodology (static/dynamic clock gating, power gating, 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, Place and Route
• Knowledge of Verilog and System Verilog
• Experience with artificial intelligence (AI) powered tools and technologies used to enhance productivity, analysis, and decision‑making

• Great medical (Choice of PPO or Consumer Driven Health Plan with HSA), dental and vision plans
• Highly competitive salary
• 401(k) plan with match and Roth plan option
• Equity rewards (RSUs)
• Life/AD&D and disability coverage
• Flexible spending accounts
• Adoption assistance
• Back‑up childcare
• Commuter benefits, legal benefits, pet insurance
• Flexible PTO schedule
• 3 paid volunteer days per year
• Charitable contribution match
• Tuition reimbursement
