Principal Engineer

Job title : Principal Engineer, STA & SynthesisWe are seeking a Principal Engineer – Implementation Lead to own synthesis and timing closure sign-off for low-power, chiplet-based MCU designs implemented on cost-optimized mature process nodes. This role is critical for ensuring design quality andconvergence while meeting power, performance, and cost targets.Job Description Drive RTL-to-gate synthesis for complex multi-die MCU designs using industry-standard tools Optimize for timing, power, and area while adhering to mature-node constraints Lead static timing analysis (STA) and timing closure activities across multiple corners and modes Ensure sign-off compliance for timing, power, and signal integrity Work closely with RTL, DFT, and physical design teams to resolve timing issues Own full chip constraints and design optimizations to achieve convergence Define and maintain synthesis and timing closure methodologies tailored for cost-sensitive MCU designs Evaluate EDA tools and flows for improved efficiency and turnaround timeQualifications BTech/MTech in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science with 15+ years ofexperience in ASIC/SoC implementation Proven experience in mature-node technologies (e.g., 22nm, 12nm) and low-power design strategies and multi-clockdomain designs Expertise in Synopsys/Cadence synthesis tools and STA tools Expertise in multi-mode, multi-corner timing analysis and constraint management Experience in timing closure of external interfaces like SPI/I2C/Ethernet/CAN Experience with hierarchical timing closure Experience with UPF/CPF-based power intent and low-power optimization techniques (clock gating, multi-voltagedomains). Extensive experience with ECO flows for timing fixes and late-stage design changes Strong scripting skills (Tcl, Perl, Python) for automation of synthesis and STA flows Experience with timing sign-off for chiplet-based designs is a strong plus Strong communication skills (written and verbal), problem solving, teamwork, attention to detail, commitment to task,and quality focus Can – do attitude, openness to new environment, people and culture Ability to propose innovative and leading edge solutions Strong drive & ability to coordinate work across highly experienced global teams
