We strive to develop a safer, healthier, greener, and smarter world, and our goal is to make every endpoint intelligent by offering product solutions in the automotive, industrial, infrastructure and IoT markets. Our robust product portfolio includes world leading MCUs, SoCs, Analog and power products, plus Winning Combination solutions that curate these complementary products. We are a key supplier to the world’s leading manufacturers of electronics you rely on every day; you may not see our products, but they are all around you.\nRenesas employs roughly 21,000 people in more than 30 countries worldwide. As a global team, our employees actively embody the Renesas Culture, our guiding principles based on five key elements: Transparent, Agile, Global, Innovative, and Entrepreneurial. Renesas believes in, and has a commitment to, diversity and inclusion, with initiatives and a leadership team dedicated to its resources and values. At Renesas, we want to build a sustainable future where technology helps make our lives easier. Join us and build your future by being part of what’s next in electronics and the world.\n We are seeking a seasoned Backend Design Expert specializing in Static Timing Analysis (STA) and Logic Synthesis. You will own the RTL-to-Gate conversion, constraint development, and final timing closure, ensuring our chips deliver maximum performance at the lowest possible power and area.\nKey Responsibilities\nPhysical-Aware Synthesis and PPA optimization: Own and execute hierarchical synthesis flows to translate SystemVerilog RTL into optimized gate-level netlists. Execute physical-aware and floorplan-driven synthesis flows to minimize post-layout congestion and achieve PPA targets, identify bottlenecks and drive optimizations (e.g., critical path restructuring, datapath optimization). Conduct flat and hierarchical synthesis, ensuring seamless interface timing budgets. Manage formal verification (LEC) to ensure logical equivalence between RTL and netlist. UPF management for multiply power domains. \nTiming Closure & STA: Perform block-level and full-chip STA across multi-mode and multi-corner (MMMC) scenarios using industry-standard tools. Collaborate with PNR team, understand the clock tree and provide timely feedback to optimize the clock tree and achieve best QOR and perform STA signoff checks to closure. \nConstraint Development: Architect, validate, and manage files, addressing both functional and DFT modes. Develop and manage comprehensive block-level and top-level constraints (SDC / UPF). \nLow-Power Implementation: Implement and verify UPF-based (Unified Power Format) low-power architectures and multi-voltage domains \nProgramming/Scripting: Strong scripting skills in Tcl, Python, or Perl to automate flows and improve design methodologies \n Experience of about 8-13 years in synthesis and STA closure. \nBachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. \nAbility to understand design specifications, can contribute to design planning, partitioning, and setup a feasible seed for convergence PD cycle. \nExtensive experience in STA closure on complex design with ability to understand the clocks structure from both functional and DFT side and provide solutions to complete design closure. \nWorked on synthesis of high frequency designs and come up PPA solutions to meet the targets. \nGood understanding of EDA tools such as Fusion Compiler, Innovus, Primetime, Tempus, VCLP, LEC. \nStrong understanding of static timing analysis, power analysis, and signal integrity analysis. \nExcellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail. \nExcellent scripting skills and development of utilities to reduce overall TAT. \nAbility to work effectively in a team environment and communicate clearly with cross-functional teams. \nExperience in mentoring and coaching junior engineers is a plus. \n Renesas is an embedded semiconductor solution provider driven by its Purpose, To Make Our Lives Easier. With a global team of over 21,000 engineers and problem solvers in more than 30 countries, we offer the opportunity to work on world-leading technology for Automotive, Industrial, Infrastructure, and IoT, shaping a safer, healthier, greener, and smarter future.\nAt Renesas, TAGIE is our culture, grounded in being Transparent, Agile, Global, Innovative, and Entrepreneurial. It shapes how we work, grow and deliver on our purpose together. This collaborative spirit and mindset drive our semiconductor technology to transform industries and impact millions of lives.\nWe believe in rewarding our employees with a competitive benefits package alongside their salary. More information will be provided during the hiring process.\nAre you ready to join our team and shape the future with us?\nRenesas Electronics is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, committed to supporting diversity and fostering a work environment free of discrimination on the basis of sex, race, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, military status, veteran status, or any other basis protected by law.
