STA Silicon Design Engineer

Advanced Micro Devices; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 4,000,000 - 8,000,000; Full time

Job summary

AMD in Bengaluru seeks a Senior Silicon Design Engineer (STA/Timing) to develop multi-mode timing constraints and carry out timing signoff for IPs and full chips. You will ensure SDC quality with industry tools and drive ECOs while coordinating timing closure across sub-systems.

The role requires 8+ years of timing constraint experience, strong TCL/scripting skills, and proficiency with Synopsys Design Compiler/Primetime, Spyglass, Fishtail and Tweaker in a high-frequency environment.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in building timing constraints for IPs, blocks and full-chip in flat or hierarchical flows.
• Experience in analyzing timing reports and identifying design/constraint issues.
• Strong TCL scripting and knowledge of SDC constraints are essential.

Responsibilities

• Develop complex multi-mode / multi-corner timing constraints compatible for RTL and signoff.
• Ensure constraints quality (SDC) using industry tools like Fishtail and GCA.
• Lead pre-route timing checks and QoR cleanup for clean STA handoff.
• Drive timing signoff through DMSA/Tweaker for subsystem or full-chip closure.
• Enable full-chip interface timing closure in coordination with DRV closure.
• Generate timing ECOs and support timing closure workflows.

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them.

AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward.

MTS SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER (STA/Timing)

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Responsible for the development of complex multi-mode / multi-corner timing constraints that are compatible for RTL and signoff
• Ensuring constraints quality (SDC) using industry tools like Fishtail , GCA
• 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:

• 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.
• 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 hip is an asset
• Desirable assets with prior exposure to video codec system or other multimedia solutions.
