STA Front-end Engineer
BitDeer
About the team
Based in our Singapore regional HQ office, you will be part of our IC Lab team.
What you will be responsible for:
- Full chip and block level timing constraint development, consistent full chip and block constraint partitioning
- Timing closure ownership throughout the entire project cycle (RTL, synthesis, and physical implementation)
- Analysis of clock domain crossing paths at block and full chip level
- Work with FE/IP teams to drive integration, timing, logical equivalence checking and analysis of various IPs into RTL
- Develop/modify/run RTL logic synthesis, formal verification, power intent verification and post-synthesis timing validation flows
- Execute low power design and physical synthesis, deploying knowledge of unified power format and power intent verification
- Implement Functional ECOs for complex blocks
- Some logic design in Verilog/SystemVerilog and confirmation of quality of coding through LINT and clock domain crossing flows
- Deploy and enhance methodology and flows related to timing constraint generation and verification and timing closure
- Work closely with chip architecture, design verification, physical design, DFT, and power teams to achieve tapeout success on designs – generally bridging the RTL and place and route
- Work with multi-disciplinary groups to make sure RTL/Netlists are on schedule and delivered with the highest quality by incorporating automated checks at every stage of the design process
How you will stand out:
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering or computer science
- 3+ years of experience working as a synthesis and/or front-end STA engineer
- Experience in ASIC multimode constraint generation, constraint partitioning and timing closure in advanced nodes
- Experience with test modes, mode merging to optimize physical design implementation and STA Signoff
- Experience with power intent and upf development for block and SOC top
- Familiar with formal verification and implementing functional ECOs
- Knowledge of deep sub-micron FinFET technology nodes (7nm and below) timing challenges, multi-corner and multimode timing closure, process variations (AOCV, POCV based STA), voltage drop aware STA, and clock reconvergence pessimism removal
- Hands-on experience in industry standard physical synthesis and STA tools (Synopsys DC, Primetime or equivalent)
- Experience with clock domain crossings, DFT/Scan/MBIST/LBIST and understanding of their impact on synthesis, physical design and timing closure
- Deep understanding of ASIC design flow, top-down and bottom-up design methodologies
- Knowledge of low-power methodologies and leakage/dynamic power optimization flows and techniques
- Familiar with implementation or integration of design blocks using Verilog/SystemVerilog
- Experience with high reliability design and implementations
- Excellent scripting skills (csh/bash, Perl, Python, TCL, Makefile etc.)
- Self-driven individual with a can-do attitude, and an ability to work in a dynamic group environment
What you will expect:
- Fast-growing digital assets service provider company with a supreme network of investors, pioneers and enthusiasts with ample knowledge and experience in the new industry;
- Ability to contribute directly and make an impact to the future of digital asset industry;
- The chance to build up new things/processes/systems from scratch;
- Personal accountability, fast growth and learning opportunities;
- An inspiring working environment with dynamic workspaces, flexible work time, flat structures, great team and a start-up spirit
- Attractive salary package and welfare benefits;
- The opportunity to grow your knowledge and career with internal and external training and mentoring resources.
