ASIC IP STA Engineer (6-10 Years) | DDR PHY / ONFI PHY / IO Expander Location: Bengaluru, India Experience: 6-10 Years Enducational Qualification : BE/B-Tech/M-Tech (EEE, ECE, Micron Electronics, VLSI)

Member of the AMS IP Physical Design team, responsible for post-layout STA signoff and timing closure of high-speed interface IPs, with close collaboration across IP Design, SoC Synthesis, and SoC Physical Design teams throughout IP development and SoC integration.

6-10 years of experience in Static Timing Analysis (STA) with a proven track record of 4+ successful tapeouts.

Strong hands-on expertise with Cadence Tempus (preferred).

In-depth experience in MMMC timing analysis and closure across functional, scan, MBIST, and other DFT modes.

Experience working on high-speed Memory Interface IPs such as DDR PHY, ONFI PHY, IO Expander (IOE), or similar high-performance interface designs.

Strong understanding of timing constraints development, validation, and debug, including clocks, generated clocks, timing exceptions, and mode-specific constraints.

Experience in Liberty (.lib) and ETM timing model generation, validation, correlation, and quality assessment.

Ability to deliver early timing models (.lib/ETM) and ensure high-quality timing collateral to enable smooth and predictable SoC integration.

Hands-on experience with SDF generation, validation, and Gate-Level Simulation (GLS) support for verification teams.

Solid understanding of setup/hold analysis, recovery/removal checks, pulse-width verification, OCV/AOCV/POCV methodologies, and SI-aware timing signoff.

Experience with the Cadence digital implementation and signoff flow, including Genus, Innovus, and Tempus.

Proficiency in TCL and/or Python for timing analysis, methodology development, and flow automation.

Exposure to AI/ML-enabled EDA methodologies, leveraging AI-assisted workflows for timing analysis, timing closure, constraint validation, root-cause analysis, and productivity improvement.

Strong analytical, debugging, communication, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to drive timing closure across cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications: Experience with advanced-node, high-frequency designs including LPDDR/DDR, ONFI, IO Expander, or similar memory and interface IPs.

Experience with AMS/Digital-on-Top IP development flows and timing signoff challenges associated with mixed-signal integrations.

Familiarity with AI-powered EDA solutions, Agentic AI workflows for design automation and productivity enhancement.
