Job Description:

Broadcom is looking for a lead STA/ Synthesis engineer. In this role, you will be contributing to constraint development, constraint validation, synthesis, audits (CDC, RDC, Static Equivalence, Low Power) and timing closure of mission critical IP and ASIC blocks in advanced technology nodes

Responsibilities Include:

  • Develop and validate timing constraints for intricate SoC designs.
  • Perform static timing analysis (STA) using industry-standard tools (e.g., PrimeTime, Tempus)
  • Perform synthesis and run static audits (CDC, RDC, Low Power, equivalence) for high speed, complex digital and mixed signal blocks
  • Define and implement timing signoff methodologies, including process corners, derates, and uncertainties.
  • Conduct pre-route timing checks and quality of results (QoR) analysis.
  • Automate timing analysis processes using scripting languages such as Tcl or Perl.
  • Provide guidance on clock tree synthesis and optimization for energy-efficient designs.
  • Ensure compliance with timing signoff checklists and criteria.
  • Generate timing ECO's for timing closure
  • Drive timing closure for complex IP and ASIC blocks

Qualifications:

  • Experience with high-complexity silicon in advanced technology nodes.
  • Familiarity with timing constraint development for hierarchical designs.
  • Knowledge of clock tree planning and implementation for SoCs.
  • Experience with timing ECO creation and final timing signoff.
  • Proficiency in using STA tools (e.g., PrimeTime, TCM, Tempus) and scripting languages (e.g., Tcl, Perl).
  • Proficiency in using synthesis and audit tools (DC-T, Genus, Fishtail, VCLP, Formality) 
  • Strong understanding of ASIC design flows, including RTL and place-and-route.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Effective communication and teamwork abilities.
  • Ability to work independently in a fast paced, cross geographical environment.
  • Direct or indirect experience with RTL/ Design is a plus
  • At a minimum Bachelors and 12+ years of related experience or Masters degree and 10+ years of related experience or PhD and 7+ years of related experience. At this level post-graduate coursework is highly desirable

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
