Hiring: Senior Silicon Design Engineer | STA | Synthesis | 3nm+ | AI-Driven Design Optimization

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Silicon Design Engineer with proven expertise in advanced technology nodes (<=3nm). This role is pivotal in driving timing closure, synthesis optimization, and low-power design strategies that directly influence product performance and customer success.

Key Responsibilities:

Timing Closure Leadership: Deliver sign-off quality STA across complex, high-frequency designs, ensuring robust performance in diverse modes and corners.
Customer Impact: Translate technical excellence into measurable outcomes for customers — faster turnaround, improved QoR, and optimized PPA trade-offs.
Constraint Development: Architect and validate timing constraints to guarantee design reliability and seamless integration into customer workflows.
Synthesis & Optimization: Own synthesis flows using Fusion Compiler and Design Compiler, achieving customer-defined targets for timing, area, and power.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with RTL, PD, and DFT teams to proactively resolve design challenges, ensuring smooth delivery for customer programs.
AI-driven Design: Apply reinforcement learning tools (DSO.ai) to accelerate design space exploration, delivering innovative solutions that reduce cycle time.
Low Power & UPF: Implement and verify UPF-based power intent, ensuring energy-efficient designs aligned with customer requirements.
Formal Equivalence & ECOs: Guarantee functional correctness through formal verification and ECO generation, enabling reliable customer tape-outs.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from reputed universities
7+ years of semiconductor design experience at leading companies
Expertise in STA, synthesis, constraints, and low-power verification.
Proficiency in industry-standard tools: PrimeTime, Fusion Compiler, Design Compiler, Formality, ICC2, Conformal, VCLP.
Strong programming skills in TCL, Python, Perl, and Verilog.
Deep understanding of advanced node challenges (cross talk, OCV, AOCV, POCV) and clock architectures.

What Sets You Apart
Proven ability to deliver timing closure at cutting-edge nodes.
Track record of driving customer success through technical innovation.
Exposure to AI-driven optimization tools that redefine design efficiency.
Strong communicator who bridges technical depth with customer priorities.
