Senior Custom Circuits Timing Engineer

Participate in groundbreaking processor design in deep submicron technologies. Work as part of a global circuits team alongside custom circuit designers to drive timing analysis and closure of custom circuit macros (digital, semi-custom and mixed-signal analog). Apply knowledge and experience to standardize and improve timing convergence flows working with methodology teams. Develop timing models and methodology for innovative and unique custom macro designs at transistor level. Develop timing models and methodology for standard cell and mixed-signal custom macro designs. Validate timing of custom circuit designs using NanoTime and various SPICE simulations to ensure proper timing of innovative circuit topologies. Work with circuit designers, tool developers, and methodology teams to validate transistor level timing accuracy and correctness. Work with PD, DFX, Clocks, and other teams on timing closure strategy, timing constraints, timing and power convergence, DFT, as well as ECO implementation. Expertise in analysis and fixing of timing paths through ECOs including crosstalk and noise analysis. Experience in critical path planning and crafting. Experience in methodology and/or flow development as well as automation.
