Senior Silicon Engineer

Full Job Description

Lead the capture and validation of design intent for digital and mixed-signal blocks, ensuring accurate constraints and seamless integration across front-end and physical design flows. Provide static timing leadership for mixed-signal interfaces, driving timing closure, exception quality, and correlation across MMMC corners. Partner closely with RTL, PD, mixed-signal, DFT, and CAD teams to resolve cross-domain issues and maintain alignment on timing, power, and functional requirements. Run, review and debug physical design flows, timing reports, ensuring consistency with synthesis and STA assumptions and driving convergence through targeted mitigations. Contribute to design automation including leveraging AI, constraint-checking, and flow improvements that enhance execution efficiency and PPA. Operate with limited direction, demonstrating strong ownership, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate clear, data-driven status, risks, and mitigation plans to program leadership. Doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 1+ year(s) technical engineering experience OR Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience OR Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 5+ years technical engineering experience OR equivalent experience. 8+ years of experience in RTL design and design checks (CDC/RDC/VCLP/LINT) 8+ years of experience in Synthesis, Timing constraints and Power Performance Area (PPA) trade-offs Proficiency in RTL to Physical Design collateral development including timing and synthesis constraints Experience with industry tools for synthesis, STA, and PD flows (e.g., PrimeTime, Genus/DC, Innovus/ICC2) Proficiency in recent synthesis tool capabilities and methods for QoR improvement Proficiency in static timing analysis Familiarity with RTL and gate-level power analysis/optimization, UPF, and power-intent verification Experience with the project-level setup and configuration of 1 or more of the tools related to above disciplines Proficiency in translating physical design results into feedback for flow or RTL improvement Proficiency in Tcl, Python This role will require access to information that is controlled for export under export control regulations, potentially under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations or Export Administration Regulations, the EU Dual Use Regulation, and/or other export control regulations. As a condition of employment, the successful candidate will be required to provide either proof of their country of citizenship or proof of their US. residency or other protected status (e.g., under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)) for assessment of eligibility to access the export-controlled information. To meet this legal requirement, and as a condition of employment, the successful candidate's citizenship will be verified with a valid passport. Lawful permanent residents, refugees, and asylees may verify status using other documents, where applicable.
