STA Lead Engineer Remote Full-time

Our Customer:

Our client is a cutting-edge technology team focusing on AI compilers and high-performance computing. They develop advanced tools and frameworks that optimize machine learning workloads on modern CPU, GPU, and accelerator architectures.

Your tasks:

  • Lead and perform Static Timing Analysis (STA) across full-chip complex SoCs.
  • Drive timing closure and signoff methodologies, ensuring high-performance and reliable designs.
  • Collaborate with backend, DFT, and integration teams to resolve timing, async, and high-frequency challenges.
  • Mentor and guide engineers in best practices for STA and chip-level timing analysis.
  • Support full backend flows from RTL to tape-out, including synthesis, floorplanning, place & route, CTS, EM/IR, and chip integration.
  • Contribute to process improvements and methodology enhancements in STA and signoff flows.

Required Experience and Skills:

  • BSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
  • 8+ years of experience in VLSI backend (RTL-to-GDS).
  • 5+ years of hands-on STA experience using PrimeTime or equivalent tools.
  • Strong experience with full-chip STA on complex SoCs.
  • Expert knowledge of timing closure, signoff methodologies, and high-frequency design considerations.
  • Good understanding of DFT architecture and DFT-related timing issues.
  • Knowledge of asynchronous timing concepts and verification.
  • Familiarity with complete backend flows: synthesis, floorplanning, place & route, CTS, STA, EM/IR, and chip integration.
  • English — Upper-Intermediate.

Would be a plus:

  • Experience optimizing timing in high-speed or advanced-node designs.
  • Hands-on mentoring of junior or mid-level engineers in STA best practices.
