Job Summary We are seeking an experienced STA Engineer (7-9 years) to drive block, subsystem timing closure on complex designs at advanced technology nodes. The role requires strong hands‑on expertise in timing analysis, constraints, power optimization, and aging signoff for large‑scale designs. Key Responsibilities Drive block‑level and subsystem‑level STA closure for large designs (≥10M instance count), and contribute to full‑chip STA signoff. Perform end‑to‑end STA from post‑synthesis to signoff across latest technology nodes. Define, validate, and maintain timing constraints including clocks, IO delays, generated clocks, exceptions (false paths, multi‑cycle paths), and case analysis. Execute MMMC timing analysis across multiple modes, PVT, and parasitic corners. Analyze and debug setup, hold, recovery, removal, clock gating, min period, and pulse width violations. Drive timing closure by collaborating with PD, synthesis, clocking, power, and ECO teams. Perform and review crosstalk/noise analysis, parasitic quality checks, and constraint sanity checks. Support timing ECOs, re‑analysis, and final tapeout signoff. Develop and maintain TCL automation for STA flows, checks, and reporting. Provide clear timing signoff status, risk assessment, and recommendations to cross‑functional teams. Required Skills & Qualifications 7-9 years of hands‑on experience in Static Timing Analysis. Proven experience in block and subsystem STA closure for large designs (≥10M instances). Strong expertise with PrimeTime and/or Tempus. Deep understanding of: Timing constraints and constraint debugging MMMC concepts, PVT scaling, CRPR/CPPR OCV/AOCV/POCV methodologies Working knowledge of power optimization techniques, including: Timing‑power tradeoffs Power‑aware timing analysis Coordination with power intent and low‑power flows Solid understanding of aging concepts and their impact on timing (BTI/HCI‑aware signoff, derates). Experience with hierarchical STA, ILM/ETM based flows. Strong TCL scripting capability for automation and analysis. Applicants : Qualcomm is an equal opportunity employer.
