Position Summary
Samsung is a world leader in Memory, LCD and System LSI technologies. We are currently looking for exceptional software and hardware talent to join our Samsung Austin R & D Center (SARC) in Austin, TX and our Advanced Computing Lab (ACL) in San Jose, CA. SARC was established in Austin, TX in 2010 to be one of Samsung s strategic investments in high performance low power ARM based device technology. Presently our GPU design teams, located in Austin (SARC) and San Jose (ACL), are developing a GPU that will be deployed in Samsung mobile products. Our System IP team located in Austin (SARC) is working on Coherent Interconnect and memory controller architectures.
Role and Responsibilities
As a Timing Engineer you will have responsibility for top level timing constraints generation/debug on complex GPU/SOCs including configuring different timing modes (Func, DFT, JTAG, MBIST, etc).
Role and Responsibilities:
Work with a team of engineers on timing closure and constraints generation/debug.
Understanding of different implementation styles of clock in design and latency/skew.
Understanding of clock domain crossings, source synchronous buses, multi-voltage timing.
Understanding of timing sign off flow and methodology, timing budgeting, derating and timing across different voltage domains.
Working knowledge of special timing checks (Asynchronous, source sync interfaces, etc).
Interact with RTL and SOC physical implementation teams to resolve timing issues.
Mentoring junior engineers in different areas of timing flows and methodologies.
Ability to influence flow and methodology enhancements for improvement.
Ability to work independently and influence cross functional teams to make good technical design trade-offs between power, area, and timing.
Skills and Qualifications
Minimum Requirements:
BSEE with 4+ years relevant experience (or equivalent education and demonstrated work experience).
Strong communication skills, team player working in collaborative work environment, discipline and planning; ability to execute with high quality deliverables is a must.
Understanding and working knowledge of the SOC/ASIC design flow.
Possesses strong technical qualities and skillsets with good analytical debug skills.
Experience with smaller process nodes is strongly preferred.
Working knowledge and detail understanding of OCV, AOCV & POCV is preferred.
Strong hands-on experience with industry standard STA tools (Ex. PrimeTime, Tempus).
Hands-on experience with synthesis, block and/or full chip implementation with the latest industry P&R/STA flows and tools an added plus.
Experience with clock tree synthesis (CTS), multi-voltage and multi-clock designs is a plus.
Sign-off experience with reliability, signal integrity, noise, timing, power, physical and DFM closure is an added advantage.
Strong scripting/programming skills in Tcl, Perl, Shell, and/or Python is preferred.
Solid understanding of Electrical Engineering fundamentals, analytical aptitude and excellent attention to details.
