You will collaborate closely across teams on constraints, optimization, and timing analysis to ensure predictable, high‑quality SoC closure.

Own SoC‑level signoff STA, including timing ECO delivery and GLS enablement.

Drive robust co‑optimization strategies to achieve benchmark PPAS targets.

Develop and maintain PPAS/status dashboards.

Collaborate with Soc development teams for design convergence and consistent signoff.

Rationalize timing margins and provide guidance.

Analyze design metrics and collateral to propose data‑driven process improvements.

Apply reuse methodologies for IP, libraries, and flows to accelerate execution.

Automate and enhance STA flows using TCL, Python, or Perl to improve productivity and repeatability.
