Job details:
Static Timing Analysis (STA) Engineer
Company: leadIC Design Pvt Ltd
Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
Work Mode: Hybrid
Employment Type: Full-time
About the Role
leadIC Design Pvt Ltd is looking for experienced Static Timing Analysis (STA) Engineers to work on timing analysis, timing closure, and signoff for ASIC/SoC designs.
This role is specifically focused on Static Timing Analysis (STA) and timing signoff. We are looking for candidates with hands-on STA experience rather than general VLSI or Physical Design experience.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform Static Timing Analysis (STA) for block-level and/or full-chip ASIC/SoC designs.
- Analyze and close setup and hold timing violations.
- Perform timing signoff across multiple modes and PVT/RC corners.
- Develop, validate, and debug SDC (Synopsys Design Constraints).
- Perform MMMC (Multi-Mode Multi-Corner) timing analysis.
- Analyze clock latency, clock skew, uncertainty, jitter, and clock paths.
- Perform timing analysis using Synopsys PrimeTime and/or Cadence Tempus.
- Analyze OCV, AOCV, POCV, LVF, and CRPR/CPPR effects.
- Debug timing issues caused by parasitics, routing, crosstalk, and signal integrity.
- Perform timing ECOs and work with Physical Design teams for timing closure.
- Analyze WNS, TNS, critical paths, path groups, and timing reports.
- Work with SPEF, RC corners, extracted parasitics, and signoff libraries.
- Develop STA automation and reporting using Tcl/Python/Perl where required.
Required Experience
- Hands-on experience specifically in Static Timing Analysis (STA).
- Experience in STA signoff and timing closure.
- Strong knowledge of setup/hold analysis.
- Hands-on experience with PrimeTime and/or Tempus.
- Strong understanding of SDC constraints.
- Experience with MMMC/MCMM analysis.
- Understanding of PVT, RC corners, OCV/AOCV/POCV.
- Experience debugging timing violations and performing timing ECOs.
- Understanding of clock timing, CTS, skew, latency, and uncertainty.
- Knowledge of crosstalk/SI and parasitic effects.
Preferred Profile
We are particularly interested in candidates whose current or previous role includes titles such as:
- STA Engineer
- Static Timing Analysis Engineer
- STA Signoff Engineer
- Timing Signoff Engineer
- Senior STA Engineer
- STA Lead
- Timing Analysis Engineer
Candidates should have actual project experience in STA/timing signoff, not only general Physical Design, RTL, Synthesis, or DFT.
Important: Who Should Apply?
Please apply if you have hands-on experience in Static Timing Analysis (STA), timing closure, or timing signoff.
Candidates with only general Physical Design, RTL Design, Verification, DFT, or Synthesis experience without hands-on STA experience may not be suitable for this position.
Education
Bachelor's/Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, VLSI, Microelectronics, or a related discipline.
Experience
Relevant STA experience is required.
Experience level can be considered based on the candidate's depth of hands-on STA/signoff and timing closure experience.
