• Generate and push down ECOs to block-level teams
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across teams
• Develop automation scripts in Perl, Python, and TCL to improve timing workflows
• Manage timing constraints compatible with synthesis, P&R, and STA tools

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields and 10-15 years of related professional experience or Master's degree and/or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields with 5-10 years of experience or equivalent professional experience in lieu of a formal degree
• Proven success in timing analysis and closure across multiple ASICs/SoCs
• Experience with advanced timing concepts: SI, CDC, LVF, POCV, etc.
• Proficiency in STA tools (e.g., Synopsys PrimeTime), scripting, and UNIX environments
• Strong communication skills and ability to work independently and collaboratively
• Experience leading timing closure efforts across teams preferred
• Familiarity with timing methodology and flow development preferred
