About the role

If that's you, join us - the intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.
We do not sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment visas (now or in the future) for this role.

Own all aspects of timing convergence, including Signoff to build timing correlation, PVTRc corner definition, timing margining, extraction, signoff timing analysis, glitch noise analysis, timing ECOs and interplay and tradeoff with power.
Own, define and drive constraints in collaboration with RTL and IP Vendors.Have in-depth understanding of all timing collaterals for different type of Ips, namely, hard IP, Stdcell and Memory etc.
Partner with post-si bringup and testing to ensure pre-si timing correlates well to post-si.
Collaborate closely with RTL designers, DFT and other stakeholders to achieve best in class PPA.
In-depth understanding of digital circuit design principles and concepts
Built on our proprietary sub- and near-threshold technology, our chips deliver multi-fold improvements in energy efficiency without costly process scaling.
Our cross-functional teams span design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations across Austin, Hsinchu, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Singapore.
We move fast, tackle hard problems, and create space for people to grow through complex, meaningful work that shapes the future of technology.
Staff Engineer - Timing Methodology, you will play a critical role in transforming our cutting-edge designs into silicon reality.
