About the Role

Lead advanced signoff methodology development, customer enablement, and product deployment activities for Cadence's timing signoff and ECO solutions. This role requires deep expertise in STA, MMMC signoff, ECO convergence, power optimization, signal integrity, and physical implementation, along with strong customer-facing skills and the ability to influence product direction.

Responsibilities

• Drive development and deployment of advanced signoff methodologies covering timing, power, signal integrity, and ECO closure.
• Collaborate with customers, AE teams, and R&D to resolve complex design closure challenges.
• Lead qualification and certification activities for advanced-node design flows.
• Develop and optimize multi-mode multi-corner (MMMC) timing closure methodologies.
• Drive signoff correlation across implementation, STA, SPICE, and signoff environments.
• Define and validate methodologies for setup and hold closure, power optimization, crosstalk mitigation, glitch fixing, max transition and electrical rule fixing, and multi-view timing closure.
• Support customer tapeouts and critical project milestones through root-cause analysis and debug.
• Partner with R&D to prioritize and validate product enhancements and customer-driven requirements.
• Create deployment collateral, technical presentations, and best-practice methodologies.
• Drive adoption of emerging technologies including AI-assisted signoff and ECO automation.
• Serve as technical lead for strategic customer engagements.
• Influence product roadmap and methodology direction.
• Mentor engineers and drive cross-functional collaboration.
• Lead technical reviews and customer escalation management.

Requirements

• 8-12+ years of industry experience in semiconductor design, physical implementation, timing signoff, signoff methodology development, or product engineering.
• Strong experience supporting advanced-node SoC/ASIC designs through implementation, timing closure, ECO convergence, and tapeout.
• Proven experience working directly with semiconductor customers, R&D organizations, and field engineering teams to resolve complex technical challenges.
• Hands-on experience developing and deploying production signoff methodologies across multiple technology nodes and large-scale designs.
• Experience leading technical investigations, driving root-cause analysis, and influencing product enhancements for customer success.
• Demonstrated ability to independently own strategic customer engagements and drive cross-functional execution.
• Experience supporting advanced-node technologies (7nm, 5nm, 3nm, 2nm and beyond).
• Experience with large SoC designs (>100M instance designs) and hierarchical signoff methodologies.
• Experience with power-performance-area (PPA) optimization and signoff closure.
• Experience with customer-facing technical leadership across strategic semiconductor accounts.
• Experience in ECO closure methodologies, signal integrity analysis, glitch fixing, and timing correlation.
• Exposure to AI-assisted implementation and signoff workflows is highly desirable.
