Debug critical timing issues including setup and hold violations, clock domain crossings, SI-induced timing failures, and variation-related signoff problems using PrimeTime
Guide customers through MMMC analysis, OCV/AOCV/POCV methodologies, and SI-aware timing flows tailored to 5nm and below process nodes
Collaborate with R&D and product engineering teams to reproduce customer issues, identify root causes, and drive tool enhancements or methodology improvements
Develop reference flows, automation scripts in Tcl and Python, and best practice documentation that customers can adopt and adapt to their specific design environments
Deliver technical training sessions, workshops, and live demos to customer design teams, covering PrimeTime capabilities, signoff methodologies, and advanced node considerations
Drive adoption of the latest PrimeTime technologies and signoff features by demonstrating value, building proof-of-concept flows, and supporting production deployment
The Impact You Will Have
Enable successful tapeouts for cutting-edge semiconductor designs by solving timing signoff challenges that would otherwise delay or block production schedules
Improve customer productivity and signoff quality by delivering automation scripts and methodology improvements that reduce manual effort and catch issues earlier
Influence PrimeTime product direction by channeling real customer pain points, design challenges, and feature requests directly to the R&D team
Build long-term technical partnerships with key accounts, becoming the trusted advisor they turn to when timing signoff gets complicated
Accelerate adoption of advanced PrimeTime features across the customer base, translating new capabilities into production value faster than competitors can respond
Reduce customer support escalations by proactively addressing methodology gaps, training design teams, and building reusable solutions
Shape industry best practices for timing signoff at advanced nodes by documenting what actually works in production, not just what works in theory
What You'll Need
Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering, plus Master's degree in VLSI, Embedded Systems, or Communication Systems
Strong hands-on experience with Synopsys PrimeTime for static timing analysis and signoff, including real production design exposure
Deep understanding of timing constraints using SDC, MMMC analysis frameworks, and variation-aware methodologies including OCV, AOCV, and POCV
Proven ability to debug complex timing issues such as setup and hold violations, clocking problems, signal integrity effects, and variability-driven failures
Proficiency in Tcl scripting for tool automation and flow development, Python or Perl scripting experience is a strong plus
Experience with advanced node designs at 5nm and below, including the unique timing challenges and signoff requirements at those geometries
Excellent communication skills and demonstrated ability to engage directly with customers, understand their technical challenges, and deliver solutions that work in their environment
Who You Are
You can walk into a customer meeting, listen to a timing problem described in five different ways by five different engineers, and identify the actual root cause before the meeting ends
You are comfortable saying 'I don't know, but I will find out' when faced with an unfamiliar issue, and you follow through quickly with a real answer, not a deflection
You write automation scripts that other engineers actually want to use because they solve real problems and do not require a PhD to understand
You know when to escalate an issue to R&D and when to solve it with a methodology change, and you can explain that tradeoff clearly to both the customer and the product team
You treat customer tapeout schedules as your own deadlines, and you organize your work to unblock them even when it means jumping between three different accounts in one day
You can explain why a particular POCV derate is causing a timing violation to a senior design engineer without losing the technical nuance, and then explain the business impact to their manager in two sentences
The Team You'll Be Part Of
Leading the key customers and providing technical assistance on the Synopsys Signoff tools for Key customers in India.
