Analog STA/Timing Engineer

In this role, You will be part of a fast-growing analog and mixed signal R&D team developing high speed analog integrated circuits in the latest FinFET CMOS processes. We are looking for an engineer with theoretical knowledge and practical experience to contribute to the team. You will work with a cross functional design team of analog, digital and top level integration designers from a wide variety of backgrounds. Our design environment is best-in-class with a full suite of IC design tools, supplemented by custom in-house tools, and supported by an experienced software/CAD team.

Job Responsibilities:

• Direct and guide the activities of a team of engineers characterizing timing, analysis timing results, and generating timing models of high-speed SERDES IP.
• Develop and align timing flow and methodology to ensure efficiency and quality of the team’s deliverables.
• Conduct design reviews and evaluate final results of timing views and reports.
• Present results of timing, assessments or critical issue investigation and make recommendation for actions necessary to achieve desired results.
• Ensure the team follows processes for maximum design quality.
• Consult on the timing characteristics of the SerDes Ip product. Propose solutions for STA timing closure.

Key Qualifications:

• MSc with 2 years of experience in STA Analysis.
• Familiarity with transistor level circuit design and CMOS design fundamentals.
• In depth knowledge of setup and hold timing analysis.
• Detailed experience timing characterization, modelling, simulation and verification.
• Familiarity with custom digital design (i.e. high speed logic paths).
• Experience with tools for timing experience, for example, Primetime, Nanotime, or equivalent.
• Hands-on experience with physical layout of high speed circuits is a plus.
• Knowledge of SPICE simulators and simulation methods.
• Experience with TCL, Perl, C, Python, MATLAB, or other scripting languages is desired.
• Good communication and documentation skills.
• Accustomed to working in a cross-functional, globally diverse environment and at all levels of an organization.

Our Silicon IP business is all about integrating more capabilities into an SoC—faster.
