Job Description:

The Full Chip Static Timing Analysis (STA) Engineer is responsible for ensuring that ASIC meets its performance targets and timing requirements across all operating conditions.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Full-Chip Timing Sign-off: Own the final timing closure for ASIC, performing quality checks across all process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) corners

  • Constraint Development: Author, validate, and maintain SDC for various modes, including functional and test modes (Scan, MBIST,ATPG)

  • Analyze foundry guidelines and work with the team to incorporate sign off corners, margins, and derates into timing analysis flows and methodologies

  • Advanced Timing Concepts: Deep knowledge of On-Chip Variation (AOCV/POCV), Signal Integrity (crosstalk), and IR-drop aware STA

  • Multi-Mode Multi-Corner (MMMC) Analysis: Manage and analyze hundreds of timing scenarios to ensure reliability across diverse operating environments

  • Timing ECOs: Automate, generate and implement ECOs to fix setup, hold, and transition violations  in the design cycle

  • Scripting: High proficiency in Tcl (primary for EDA tools), Python, and Perl for automating analysis flows and data mining.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with RTL, Physical Design, and DFT teams to resolve complex timing issues and define guard-banding requirements

  • Analyze and understand the tradeoffs between power/performance and area goals to drive them into overall chip implementation flows

  • Document best practices and lessons learned to drive continuous improvements in future projects

Qualifications: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer engineering

  • A minimum of 12 years of hands-on experience in ASIC STA and timing constraints development, timing closure with Cadence or Synopsys tools

  • Experience in driving timing closure by effectively managing on-chip variation derates, optimizing multi-mode multi-corner constraints

  • Well versed with scripting languages like TCL and Python, PERL, or Shell

  • Strong problem solving skills with attention to every technical aspect

  • Be a strong team player with clear and precise communication skills

  • EDA Tool Expertise: Expert proficiency in industry-standard sign-off tool

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
