Job Description:

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the architecture, design, and integration of SoC-wide clocking networks including clock generation (PLLs, DLLs), distribution, gating, and domain crossing strategies.

• Define and optimize power-performance-area (PPA) trade-offs for complex clocking and circuit topologies.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with RTL, physical design, verification, and DFT teams to deliver end-to-end SoC clocking and custom IP.

• Own the technical roadmap and methodology improvements for clocking, timing closure, and custom circuits.

• Mentor and technically guide a team of junior and senior designers.

• Review and approve specifications, schematics, simulations, and post-layout signoff for high-reliability silicon meeting clock and circuit specs.

• Partner with foundries, EDA vendors, and internal silicon validation teams to ensure robust silicon correlation and yield.

Qualifications:

Required Qualifications:

• M.Tech / B.Tech / Ph.D. in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field.

• 15–20 years of hands-on experience in SoC clocking, custom analog/digital circuit design, and timing architecture.

• Proven expertise in clock tree synthesis (CTS), clock gating, low-power techniques, and glitch-free clock domain crossing.

• Deep experience with PLL/DLL architecture, design, and integration in So Cs.

• Strong background in transistor-level design, spice simulations, and post-layout validation.

• Familiarity with EDA tools and scripting (TCL, Perl, Python).

• Experience leading multi-disciplinary teams and working across global sites.

• Excellent communication, documentation, and project leadership skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Background in high-speed interface IPs, power management circuits, or custom memory design.

• Experience with Server, AI/ML, or networking So Cs.

• Exposure to Silicon bring-up, characterization, and debug.

• Previous patents or publications in the area of clocking or circuit design.
