Description

Staff / Senior Staff Engineer: Static Timing Analysis (STA) Lead

Location: Bangalore

Department: Hardware

EnCharge AI is a leader in advanced AI hardware and software systems for edge-to-cloud computing. EnCharge’s robust and scalable next-generation in-memory computing technology provides orders-of-magnitude higher compute efficiency and density compared to today’s best-in-class solutions. The high-performance architecture is coupled with seamless software integration and will enable the immense potential of AI to be accessible in power, energy, and space constrained applications. EnCharge AI launched in 2022 and is led by veteran technologists with backgrounds in semiconductor design and AI systems.

Staff / Senior Staff Engineer: Static Timing Analysis (STA) Lead.
We are seeking a high-caliber Staff or Senior Staff Engineer to lead SOC Timing Convergence. This is a critical leadership role for a driven, "go-getter" engineer who excels at navigating the complexities of modern, large-scale SOC designs. You will be the bridge between Architecture, RTL, DFT, and Physical Design to ensure a predictable, high-performance path to tape-out.

The Role
As a lead for SOC Timing or SubChip Timing, you will own the strategy for convergence. You will identify bottlenecks early in the design cycle ("left-shifting") and drive cross-functional alignment to meet aggressive Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) targets.
 
Key Responsibilities
  • Timing Convergence Leadership: Drive full-chip SOC timing closure across all corners and modes (func, shift, capture, etc.).
  • Cross-Functional Coordination: Partner with Architecture to validate timing feasibility, RTL to optimize logic structures, and DFT to streamline test-mode timing.
  • Left-Shift Strategy: Proactively identify and resolve structural timing issues, congestion, and high-latency paths early in the RTL/Synthesis phase to ensure predictable physical design execution.
  • Advanced Analysis: Perform complex timing tasks including CPPR/CRPR analysis, NoC (Network-on-Chip) timing, and constraint validation (SDC).
  • Automation & Agility: Architect and build sophisticated automation utilities (Tcl, Python, Perl) to accelerate timing sign-off, reduce manual audits, and improve schedule agility.
  • PPA Optimization: Drive best-in-class PPA by guiding physical design teams on floorplanning, clock tree synthesis (CTS) strategies, and placement optimizations.

Requirements & Qualifications
  • Experience: 9 to 14 years of hands-on experience in STA and Timing Closure on advanced process nodes (7nm, 5nm, or below).
  • Critical Thinking: Proven ability to debug complex timing violations, identify root causes (e.g., data-to-clock skew, crosstalk), and propose architectural or physical solutions.
  • Technical Mastery: * Expertise in industry-standard sign-off tools (e.g., PrimeTime, Tempus). Preferable Tempus tool.
    • Deep understanding of Multi-Mode Multi-Corner (MMMC) challenges and Hierarchical vs. Flat timing closure.
    • Proficiency in SDC/CDC constraints.
  • Soft Skills: Strong leadership presence with the ability to influence cross-functional teams and drive execution in a fast-paced environment.
  • Education: B.Tech/M.Tech in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related field.

Why Join Us?
You will have the autonomy to define the timing methodology for next-generation silicon. This role offers the opportunity to tackle the industry's toughest frequency and power challenges while building the automation infrastructure that defines our engineering excellence.
