Senior/Staff Mid-End Engineer (STA/Synthesis)

About the role

Bitdeer is seeking a Senior/Staff Mid-End Engineer specialized in static timing analysis and synthesis to drive ASIC design projects. The role focuses on logic synthesis, timing closure, and power optimization for high‑performance chips.

Key responsibilities

• Perform logic synthesis and design optimization for ASIC designs.
• Conduct static timing analysis (STA), constraint tuning, and clock‑tree synthesis (CTS) to close critical paths.
• Resolve timing challenges across multi‑clock domains and high‑frequency data pipelines.
• Implement low‑power techniques such as clock gating, power gating, and dynamic voltage scaling.
• Optimize memory hierarchy to reduce energy consumption.
• Collaborate with DFT engineers on scan chain insertion, MBIST for large SRAMs, and JTAG integration.
• Debug synthesis, timing, and power issues before physical implementation.
• Work closely with the physical design team on floorplanning, place & route, congestion analysis, and timing bottlenecks.
• Provide constraints for high‑speed interconnects, NoCs, and large‑scale data movement.
• Use formal verification and equivalence checking tools to ensure netlist correctness.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 3–7 years of IC design experience with a focus on synthesis, timing closure, and power optimization.

Required skills

• Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Experience with RTL‑to‑GDSII flow.
• Synopsys Design Compiler, Cadence Genus, PrimeTime, and Innovus.
• Strong understanding of static timing analysis, multi‑clock domain handling, and clock‑tree synthesis.
• Familiarity with on‑chip interconnect architectures (AXI, NoC, mesh, torus).
• Low‑power design methodologies (UPF, power gating, dynamic voltage scaling).
• Scripting skills in TCL, Python, Perl, and Shell.
• Formal verification tools such as Conformal, FormalPro, or JasperGold.

What we offer

• A culture that values authenticity, diversity of thought, and inclusive collaboration.
• An open workspace with a start‑up spirit within a fast‑growing global company.
• Opportunities to work on cutting‑edge ASIC projects for Bitcoin mining and AI cloud solutions.
