Job Description
Our partner is expanding its semiconductor engineering team and is looking for an experienced STA & Synthesis Lead Engineer to own synthesis, static timing analysis, timing closure and design optimization across complex digital designs.
You will work from RTL through implementation and sign off, driving synthesis quality, PPA optimization and timing convergence across hierarchical and top level designs. The role requires close collaboration with RTL, DFT and Physical Design teams to identify bottlenecks, resolve implementation issues and ensure robust timing closure.
Level: Senior
Location: Barcelona, Spain, Hybrid
Responsibilities
- Drive physical aware RTL to gate synthesis at block and top level
- Optimize designs for power, performance and area
- Analyze synthesis results and identify optimization opportunities
- Develop, validate and debug SDC constraints
- Define clocks, generated clocks, I/O constraints and timing exceptions
- Manage false paths, multicycle paths and case analysis
- Perform MMMC static timing analysis and timing sign off
- Analyze setup, hold,



recovery, removal and clock gating checks
- Investigate critical paths and timing bottlenecks
- Generate, implement and validate timing and functional ECOs
- Resolve post placement and post route timing issues
- Support functional, scan and DFT timing modes
- Work with RTL, DFT and Physical Design teams to improve design convergence
- Improve synthesis and timing closure methodology

Requirements
- 7+ years of hands on synthesis and STA experience
- Strong logic and physical synthesis experience
- PPA optimization across complex digital designs
- Deep knowledge of STA and MMMC analysis
- Strong SDC development, validation and debugging
- Timing closure across block, subsystem and top level designs
- ECO implementation and validation
- Strong knowledge of setup, hold and clock related timing analysis
- Understanding of clock skew, latency, jitter, uncertainty and variation
- Knowledge of
