Develop, validate, and review complex timing constraints spanning IP, subsystem, partition, and full-chip hierarchies.
Drive full-chip timing signoff across multi-mode, multi-corner scenarios and establish a robust top-down timing closure methodology, driving constraints, budgets, interface timing, and convergence from full-chip to subsystem and partition levels.
Demonstrate strong expertise in AOCV/SOCV methodologies, variation-aware timing analysis, and advanced-node timing signoff.
Drive top-level clock planning and balancing across partitions and interfaces, working with Physical Design teams to optimize clock topology, implementation, and routing.
Demonstrate strong understanding of design partitioning and hierarchical implementation, including partition boundaries, interface paths, timing budgeting, feedthrough paths, top-level clocking, and routing considerations.
Root-cause complex and recurring timing convergence and QoR issues across RTL, synthesis, constraints, DFT, clocking, placement, CTS, routing, extraction, and signoff, and drive solutions to closure.
Drive timing ECO strategy and execution, using both automated and manual techniques for complex setup, hold, DRC, and full-chip timing closure.
Understand Scan/DFT architectures, operating modes, constraints, and associated timing implications.
Drive strong automation and scalable analysis methodologies that improve productivity, debug efficiency, timing convergence, and signoff quality.
