Lead, Physical Design & STA for FPGA SoCs

191 Altera Corporation; San Jose (CA); Presencial; USD 149.100 - 215.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Altera seeks an experienced Physical Design Implementation & STA Lead to drive high-quality physical implementation and timing closure for next-generation FPGA SoCs. You will lead block-level implementation, CTS, ECOs, and signoff activities, coordinating with RTL, CAD, DFT, and library teams.

This senior role involves project leadership and mentoring, with emphasis on ML/AI-assisted design methodologies, timing constraints, and robust signoff processes.

Formación

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 7+ years in physical design or STA.
• 7+ years in physical design/SoC backend development for advanced semiconductor products.
• 3+ years of experience performing static timing analysis using Synopsys PrimeTime or equivalent STA tools (MMMC timing).

Responsabilidades

• Lead block-level physical implementation including synthesis, floorplanning, place-and-route, CTS, optimization, and ECO closure.
• Support SoC-level physical implementation and collaborate on floorplanning, partitioning, and integration strategies.
• Develop and maintain implementation constraints (SDC and UPF) to meet timing, power, and area goals.
• Partner with RTL, DFT, CAD, packaging, and library teams to resolve implementation issues throughout the design cycle.
• Drive implementation convergence across timing, power, congestion, and routability objectives.
• Execute signoff activities including IR drop, electromigration, DRC, LVS, antenna, and physical verification.
