Responsibilities

You execute hands-on static timing analysis at top level, developing, debugging, and maintaining timing constraints, clock definitions, and timing environments for complex, multi-clock GPU IPs across functional and test scenarios

You support timing closure and signoff readiness by analyzing timing paths, understanding different clocking and implementation styles, managing latency and skew tradeoffs, and applying timing budgeting, derating, and multi-voltage methodologies across advanced process nodes

You help advancing cross-functional collaboration with RTL, physical design, and SoC teams to identify, debug, and resolve timing issues impacting block-level and full-chip closure, ensuring alignment between logical intent and physical implementation

You contribute to technical excellence by applying and help influencing STA methodologies and sign-off flows, leveraging industry-standard tools and exploring best practices—including POCV, multi-corner analysis, and low-power constraints—to improve timing quality, convergence, and predictability

You take initiatives on moderate-to-complex projects, communicating openly, documenting analysis and results, demonstrating strong ownership and continuous learning mindset by staying ahead of emerging GPU technologies
