Introduction:

The Principal Engineer SoC Signoff has a deep understanding about how timing constraints are to be written across functional and test modes. They not only leads but mentors engineers towards designing and delivering full chip complex Ips and critical interface multi-mode timing constraints. This role drives the creation of constraints for custom integrated circuits (ICs) from specifications co-ordinate across stake holding teams not only to create constraints and validate them but also define margin methodologies and develop process for every SoC design we develop at MIPS

Your Job

• Lead and own all phases of timing-constraint development for complex SoCs and digital AMS and SerDes IPs.
• Define signoff margins for ASIC implementation and static timing analysis (STA) from specification through production.
• Establish processes for multi-voltage and dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (MV/DVFS) STA signoff and develop shift-left methodologies for STA.
• Provide technical mentorship to a high-performing engineering team including recent graduates.
• Champion the development deployment and maintenance of AI/ML-enabled STA methodologies in collaboration with leading EDA partners

• Other Responsibilities
• Perform all duties safely and responsibly and support all Environmental Health Safety and Security requirements and programs.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or a related field.
• 12 years of industry experience including at least 2 years in subsystem RTL design 6 years in STA constraint development and 4 years in STA signoff.
• Deep hands-on expertise in developing functional- and test-mode constraints for full-chip and sub-chip digital analog mixed-signal and source-synchronous designs and interfaces.
• Expertise in constraint development for MV/DVFS designs with advanced proficiency in UPF and expert-level proficiency in in STA signoff margining and a demonstrated ability to establish signoff processes from the ground up.
• Deep hands-on experience executing STA signoff including mode reduction and methodology infrastructure experience conducting timing-signoff reviews for production SoCs.
• Strong proficiency with leading EDA tools from Synopsys Cadence or Siemens leadership mentoring and communication skills
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Proven track record of delivering custom silicon across a range of application domains.
• Inspirational leadership style with a passion for mentoring and scaling high-performing -focused proactive approach to problem-solving
• Commitment to continuous learning and the adoption of industry best practices.
• Expertise with the Synopsys EDA tool to agentic AI technologies and workflows.
