Lead STA / Timing analysis Design Engineer

AMD; Bengaluru Urban; On-site; INR 4,000,000 - 6,200,000; Full time

Job summary

AMD is seeking an experienced MTS Silicon Design Engineer (STA/Timing) in Bengaluru to develop and validate timing constraints for complex IPs and full-chip designs. The role emphasizes SDC quality, TCL scripting, and advanced EDA tools to achieve reliable timing closure across multi-mode/multi-corner scenarios.

You will drive pre-route timing checks, QoR cleanup, and ECO generation, collaborating with design teams to ensure robust timing closure for high-performance silicon.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in building the timing constraints for IPs, blocks and Full-chip implementation in both flat/hierarchical flows.
• Experience with analyzing the timing reports and identifying both the design and constraints related issues.
• Preferred EDA tool experience: Synopsys Design Compiler/Primetime, Spyglass, Fishtail, Tweaker etc.

Responsibilities

• Develop complex multi-mode / multi-corner timing constraints compatible for RTL and signoff.
• Ensure constraints quality (SDC) using industry tools.
• Drive pre-route timing checks and QoR clean up to eliminate SDC issues.
• Responsible for Timing closure of one or multiple sub chip/subsystem OR Full chip.
• Ensure full chip level Interface timing closure along DRV closure.
• Generate timing ECO using DMSA/Tweaker and lead subsystem timing closure.
