Senior Staff GPU STA/Timing Engineer

Company Overview

Qualcomm India Private Limited seeks skilled STA Engineers to join its GPU team, aiming to spearhead timing signoff and closure for next-generation high-performance GPU chip designs. The role requires tight coordination with Architecture, RTL, Physical Design, DFT, and SoC groups to develop premier silicon products.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead block-level and full-chip static timing analysis (STA) signoff for GPU designs.
• Formulate and verify timing constraints using Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC).
• Conduct multi-cycle multi-mode (MCMM/MMMC) timing analysis, drive timing closure, and execute engineering change orders (ECOs).
• Handle timing closure for setup/hold checks, noise, signal integrity (SI), and low-power considerations.
• Work closely with cross-disciplinary teams to identify and resolve timing challenges.
• Improve STA methodologies, workflows, and automation processes.
• Provide technical mentorship and leadership to less experienced engineers.

Qualifications and Required Skills

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, or related fields.
• 6 to 10 years of professional experience in ASIC/SoC STA and timing closure.
• Proficiency in STA techniques including MCMM/MMMC, SDC development, timing closure, ECO implementation, and SI analysis.
• Hands-on expertise with Synopsys PrimeTime tool.
• Solid grasp of Physical Design principles and design implementation flows.
• Competence in Tcl and Python scripting for automation and analysis.

Preferred Experience

• Background in GPU, CPU, AI/ML, or other high-performance System on Chip (SoC) designs.
• Experience with advanced semiconductor technology nodes at 5nm or smaller.
• Familiarity with industry tools such as Fusion Compiler, ICC2, StarRC, Tempus, or Innovus.
• Demonstrated capability for technical leadership and mentoring.

Educational Requirements

• Option 1: Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 4 years of relevant hardware engineering experience.
• Option 2: Master's degree with at least 3 years of relevant experience.
• Option 3: PhD with at least 2 years of relevant experience.
