Job Description:
Be part of the Custom Silicon Design Team within Broadcoms ASIC Products Division in beautiful Fort Collins Colorado. Join a world-class engineering group developing custom CMOS ASICs for cutting-edge AI Cellular Networking Computing and Storage products. This position offers the opportunity to work on high-performance SoC designs operating at speeds exceeding 1 GHz from concept through production.
Role Overview
This STA Engineering role focuses on chip-level timing architecture analysis and closure for advanced ASICs in deep sub-micron technologies. The position provides hands-on experience with the latest 3 nm and smaller process nodes and involves working across multiple design hierarchies to define validate and sign off complex timing environments for AI computing and networking SoCs.
Key Responsibilities
Develop validate and maintain timing constraints for complex SoC designs across multiple modes and corners.
Perform static timing analysis (STA) using industry-standard tools such as Synopsys PrimeTime or Cadence Tempus.
Define and execute timing signoff methodologies including process corners derates and uncertainties.
Conduct pre- and post-route timing analysis quality of results (QoR) evaluations and closure verification.
Generate and validate timing ECOs to achieve signoff-quality closure across PVT corners.
Automate timing flows and analysis using Tcl and scripting languages such as Perl or Python.
Collaborate with physical design synthesis and clock teams to ensure timing convergence and cross-domain consistency.
Analyze and debug timing violations signal integrity issues and clock network challenges.
Support power and performance optimization through informed timing analysis and constraint tuning.
Ensure full compliance with timing signoff checklists methodology and documentation.
Technical Skills / Background
Deep understanding of VLSI design principles and ASIC physical design fundamentals.
Working knowledge of PLLs clock network design and timing elements such as flip-flops latches and memories.
Proficiency in timing constraint creation debugging and validation.
Strong understanding of RC networks signal integrity crosstalk delay and noise analysis.
Familiar with setup/hold analysis multi-mode multi-corner (MMMC) timing and ECO convergence.
Exposure to advanced STA techniques including POCV/SOCV/LVF PBA and SPICE correlation.
Knowledge of timing libraries (CCS/ECSM/NLDM) and multi-input switching (MIS) effects.
Coding & Tool Proficiency
Strong experience with Tcl scripting and Linux/UNIX environments.
Proficiency in Python Perl or Ruby preferred.
Hands-on experience with Synopsys and/or Cadence STA tools highly desirable.
Collaboration and Leadership
Excellent communication analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Ability to work effectively with external customers cross-functional and global design teams.
Skilled at organizing and presenting large data sets prioritizing tasks and driving to closure.
Demonstrates independent decision-making and strong engineering judgment.
Provides technical leadership mentoring and initiative in methodology improvements.
Education and Experience
BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 12 years of relevant experience or
MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 10 years of relevant experience.
