I korthet

Synopsys is seeking a Sr. Staff Applications Engineer in Bengaluru, India, to provide technical expertise in static timing analysis and signoff using PrimeTime for advanced semiconductor designs. This customer-facing role involves resolving complex timing challenges, guiding customers on methodologies, and collaborating with R&D to drive tool enhancements.

Ansvarsområden

Work directly with leading semiconductor companies to resolve complex timing closure and signoff challenges on advanced node designs, often under tight tapeout schedules.
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, including the unique timing challenges and signoff requirements at those geometries.
Excellent communication skills and demonstrated ability to engage directly with customers.

Önskade kvalifikationer

Python or Perl scripting experience is a strong plus.
Ability to walk into a customer meeting, listen to a timing problem described in five different ways by five different engineers, and identify the actual root cause before the meeting ends.
Comfortable saying "I don't know, but I will find out" when faced with an unfamiliar issue and following through quickly with a real answer.
Ability to write automation scripts that other engineers actually want to use.
Know when to escalate an issue to R&D and when to solve it with a methodology change, and ability to explain that tradeoff clearly.
Treat customer tapeout schedules as your own deadlines, and organize your work to unblock them even when it means jumping between three different accounts in one day.
Ability to explain why a particular POCV derate is causing a timing violation to a senior design engineer without losing the technical nuance, and then explain the business impact to their manager in two sentences.

Förmåner

Comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits.
Total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings.
Opportunities to shape industry best practices for timing signoff at advanced nodes.
