Job Description :

We are seeking a Principal Engineer Implementation Lead to own synthesis and timing closure sign-off for low-power, chiplet-based MCU designs implemented on cost-optimized mature process nodes. This role is critical for ensuring design quality and convergence while meeting power, performance, and cost targets.

Key Responsibilities :

- Drive RTL-to-gate synthesis for complex multi-die MCU designs using industry-standard tools.

- Optimize for timing, power, and area while adhering to mature-node constraints.

- Lead static timing analysis (STA) and timing closure activities across multiple corners and modes.

- Ensure sign-off compliance for timing, power, and signal integrity.

- Work closely with RTL, DFT, and physical design teams to resolve timing issues.

- Own full chip constraints and design optimizations to achieve convergence.

- Define and maintain synthesis and timing closure methodologies tailored for cost-sensitive MCU designs.

- Evaluate EDA tools and flows for improved efficiency and turnaround time.

Qualifications :

- BTech/MTech in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science with 15+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC implementation.

- Proven experience in mature-node technologies (e.g., 22nm, 12nm) and low-power design strategies and multi-clock domain designs.

- Expertise in Synopsys/Cadence synthesis tools and STA tools.

- Expertise in multi-mode, multi-corner timing analysis and constraint management.

- Experience in timing closure of external interfaces like SPI/I2C/Ethernet/CAN.

- Experience with hierarchical timing closure.

- Experience with UPF/CPF-based power intent and low-power optimization techniques (clock gating, multi-voltage domains).

- Extensive experience with ECO flows for timing fixes and late-stage design changes.

- Strong scripting skills (Tcl, Perl, Python) for automation of synthesis and STA flows.

- Experience with timing sign-off for chiplet-based designs is a strong plus.

- Strong communication skills (written and verbal), problem solving, teamwork, attention to detail, commitment to task, and quality focus.

- Can do attitude, openness to new environment, people and culture.

- Ability to propose innovative and leading edge solutions.

- Strong drive & ability to coordinate work across highly experienced global teams.
