Description : essolve STA Engineer (4+ Years Experience).

Location : Bangalore.

Job Type : Full-Time.

Experience : 4 to 8 years.

Domain : ASIC / SoC Static Timing Analysis.

Job Summary :

Tessolve is seeking a skilled STA Engineer with 4+ years of hands-on experience in block-level and/or chip-level timing analysis and closure.

The ideal candidate should be proficient with industry-standard timing tools, sign-off methodologies, and timing constraints development for advanced technology nodes.

Key Responsibilities :

Static Timing Analysis & Closure :

- Perform block-level and top-level STA using Synopsys PrimeTime or equivalent sign-off tools.

- Develop, validate, and maintain timing constraints (SDC) for functional and test modes.

- Analyze and resolve setup, hold, DRV, SI/Noise, and cross-corner timing issues.

- Drive timing closure by coordinating with RTL, physical design, DFT, and architecture teams.

Timing Sign-Off & Debug :

- Perform multi-mode, multi-corner (MMMC) analysis for all PVT corners.

- Support ECO generation and validation for timing fixes (functional & timing ECOs).

- Debug clock tree, macro timing, and route-based timing problems.

- Run and interpret report timing, report_timing_summary, path-group analysis, etc.

Tool & Flow Expertise :

- Work with Synopsys PrimeTime (PT/PTS), Cadence Tempus, or equivalent STA sign-off tools.

- Understand modeling of libraries (LIB), SDF, SPEF, OCV/AOCV/POCV, and latency models.

- Support methodology improvements for timing closure and sign-off automation.

Required Skills & Experience :

- 4+ years of hands-on experience in STA for ASIC / SoC projects.

Strong knowledge of :

- SDC creation and validation.

- Setup/Hold analysis and fixes.

- Noise/SI timing checks.

- MMMC timing methodologies.

- OCV, AOCV, POCV modeling.

- SPEF/SDF/LIB interpretation.

- Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals, clocking concepts, and physical design interactions.

- Hands-on experience with Synopsys PrimeTime (preferred) or Cadence Tempus.

- Proficiency with Tcl scripting for automation.
