Physical Design Backend Sta Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Yokneam, Israel +1

NVIDIA is seeking an experienced Static Timing Analysis (STA) Physical Design Engineer for their Networking team in Israel. The role involves performing advanced STA, running Prime Time, debugging timing paths, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure chip convergence and quality approval from pre-layout to signoff. The ideal candidate will have 2-3 years of STA experience and a B.Sc. in Electrical or Computer Engineering.

What you'd actually do

  1. Perform advanced Static Timing Analysis (STA) at a chiplet and FC level.
  2. Running Prime Time, review and debug timing paths, understand constraints, sdc generation, timing ecos generation.
  3. Identify convergence risks and work closely with physical design, RTL and DFT teams, ensuring convergence throughout various project stages.
  4. Responsible for a full timing closer and quality approval from pre-layout STA model through signoff.
