I korthet

Synopsys is seeking a Sr. Staff Applications Engineer to provide technical expertise in static timing analysis and signoff for advanced semiconductor designs, primarily using Synopsys PrimeTime. This customer-facing role involves collaborating with clients, R&D, and product engineering teams to resolve complex timing challenges and drive methodology adoption.

Ansvarsområden

  • Work directly with leading semiconductor companies to resolve complex timing closure and signoff challenges on advanced node designs.
  • Debug critical timing issues including setup and hold violations, clock domain crossings, SI-induced timing failures, and variation-related signoff problems using PrimeTime.
  • Guide customers through MMMC analysis, OCV/AOCV/POCV methodologies, and SI-aware timing flows tailored to 5nm and below process nodes.
  • Collaborate with R&D and product engineering teams to reproduce customer issues, identify root causes, and drive tool enhancements or methodology improvements.
  • Develop reference flows, automation scripts in Tcl and Python, and best practice documentation.
  • Deliver technical training sessions, workshops, and live demos to customer design teams.
  • Drive adoption of the latest PrimeTime technologies and signoff features.

Krav

  • Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering, plus Master's degree in VLSI, Embedded Systems, or Communication Systems.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Synopsys PrimeTime for static timing analysis and signoff, including real production design exposure.
  • Deep understanding of timing constraints using SDC, MMMC analysis frameworks, and variation-aware methodologies including OCV, AOCV, and POCV.
  • Proven ability to debug complex timing issues such as setup and hold violations, clocking problems, signal integrity effects, and variability-driven failures.
  • Proficiency in Tcl scripting for tool automation and flow development.
  • Experience with advanced node designs at 5nm and below.
  • Excellent communication skills and demonstrated ability to engage directly with customers.

Önskade kvalifikationer

  • Python or Perl scripting experience is a strong plus.
  • Ability to identify root causes of timing problems quickly.
  • Write automation scripts that solve real problems and are easy to understand.
  • Know when to escalate an issue to R&D and when to solve it with a methodology change.
  • Treat customer tapeout schedules as your own deadlines.
  • Ability to explain technical nuances of timing violations and their business impact.

Förmåner

  • Comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits.
  • Total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings.
  • Opportunity to influence PrimeTime product direction.
  • Build long-term technical partnerships with key accounts.
  • Opportunity to shape industry best practices for timing signoff.
