Sr . STA / Timing constraints Engineer

AMD; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 1,800,000 - 3,200,000; Full time

Job summary

AMD Bengaluru is seeking an experienced Timing Constraints Engineer to drive RTL-to-signoff timing, ensuring SDC quality and robust timing closure across chips and subsystems. The role demands strong TCL scripting, hands-on EDA tool usage, and collaboration with design teams to meet aggressive GHz-range targets.

You will develop multi-mode, multi-corner constraints, analyze timing reports, and contribute to ECO generation and signoff readiness. A Masters/Bachelors in engineering is expected.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience building timing constraints for IPs, blocks, and full-chip implementations.
• Experience analyzing timing reports and identifying design/constraint issues.
• Preferred EDA tools: Design Compiler, Primetime, Spyglass, Fishtail, Tweaker.
• Experience in timing closure of high-frequency blocks and subsystems.
• Strong TCL/scripting knowledge mandatory.

Responsibilities

• Develop complex multi-mode / multi-corner timing constraints compatible for RTL and signoff.
• Ensure SDC quality using industry tools and drive timing signoff methodology.
• Lead pre-route timing checks and QoR cleanup for quality handoff to STA checks.
• Generate timing ECOs using DMSA/Tweaker for sub-chip or full-chip timing closure.

• Well versed with timing signoff methodology and corner definitions
• Drive the pre-route timing checks and QoR clean up to eliminate SDC issues and ensure a quality handoff for STA checks
• Requires a mix of SDC knowledge, EDA timing tool competence and Tcl based scripting capability (in both EDA environment and standalone Linux Tcl shell scripts)
• Responsible for Timing closure of one or multiple sub chip/subsystem OR Full chip.
• Ensuring full chip level Interface timing closure along DRV closure
• Generating timing ECO using tools DMSA/Tweaker and leading subsystem/Subchip/FC timing closure

Preferred Experience

• 5+ 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.
• Experience in timing closure of high frequency blocks & subsystems (> Ghz range )
• Strong Understanding of DFT modes requirements for timing signoff
• Good understanding of physical design flow and ECO implementation.
• Strong understanding of SDC constraints, OCV,AOCV,POCV analysis.
• Strong TCL/scripting knowledge is mandatory.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
