Job Description
Senior STA and Synthesis Engineer / STA Lead - Texas Instruments
About the Role: Join Texas Instruments' Connectivity engineering team as a Senior STA and Synthesis Engineer / STA Lead, where you'll play a critical role in delivering high-performance wireless connectivity solutions that power next-generation IoT, automotive, and industrial applications.
What You'll Do: Drive timing closure and synthesis optimization for advanced connectivity SoCs, ensuring our wireless solutions meet stringent performance, power, and area requirements across diverse market applications.
Technical Focus
Multi-Technology Expertise: Work on synthesis and timing analysis across various wireless connectivity standards and protocols
Full Flow Ownership: Drive synthesis, timing analysis, and optimization from RTL to layout handoff
Performance Leadership: Ensure timing closure for complex mixed-signal connectivity designs
Key Responsibilities
Perform static timing analysis and synthesis for connectivity SoCs
Collaborate with design teams to optimize RTL for timing, power, and area
Write SDC constraints across functional and DFT modes and validate the constraints through industry standard constraints checker tools
Drive timing closure through physical design flow coordination
Develop and maintain synthesis and STA methodologies and scripts
Growth Opportunities
Work on both established connectivity platforms and breakthrough wireless technologies
Contribute to multiple tape-outs annually across different process nodes
Influence next-generation connectivity architecture decisions
Mentorship opportunities with junior engineers and cross-functional collaboration
Why This Role
Direct impact on TI's wireless connectivity portfolio performance
Exposure to diverse wireless standards and emerging technologies
Opportunity to work with state-of-the-art EDA tools and methodologies
Be part of innovation initiatives including new wireless technologies for TI
Technical Environment
Multiple process technology nodes and design rule sets
Complex mixed-signal connectivity SoC designs
Automated flow development and optimization
Ready to Drive Connectivity Performance? Join our team and help optimize the wireless technologies that connect our world.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications: Education & Experience:
4-10 years of hands-on experience in synthesis, or static timing analysis
>3 years of experience working on SoC-level designs (>1M gates)
