Role and Responsibilities

Roles and Responsibilities

• Complete ownership of timing constraint at image sensor full chip and sub system levels. This includes:

o Timing constraint (Hierarchical, Flat) development and release for Synthesis/PD work

o Timing constraint validation using various EDA tools

o Analysis of pre-layout and post-layout timing reports and debug

o Incremental update of constraint as and when it is required

o Working with RTL, DFT and PD teams independently and driving in timing closure both at sub system and full chip level.

• RTL PPA analysis (physical and power aware) at sub system levels for power, performance, area trade-off. This includes:

o Running relevant EDA tool and generate reports

o Analysing the reports

o Working with RTL , PD teams to improve the quality of RTL and Physical implementation

• Development of necessary scripts in TCL, Perl and/or Python for efficiency improvement

Required Skill Set

• Strong understanding in STA fundamentals, AOCV/POCV, signal integrity, cross-talk noise, process variation, timing ECO generation etc.

• Hands-on experience in writing timing constraints at full chip and/or sub system level

• Hands on experience in timing constraint validation and clean up at full chip and/or sub system level

• Hands-on experience in pre and post layout timing analysis (both flat and hierarchical) and debug

• Experience in driving timing convergence at full chip and/or sub system level.

• Hands-on experience with STA tools: PrimeTime and/or Tempus

• Experience in both physical and UPF aware synthesis using Industry standard EDA tools
