SDC Consultant
(Static Timing Analysis/Constraints Consultant) that focuses on managing and validating the timing aspects of digital design in semiconductor engineering. Required Skills: Good knowledge of Timing Constraints:
Proficiency in creating and validating timing constraints using
Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC)
format. Includes defining clocks, I/O constraints, timing exceptions (false paths, multicycle paths), and understanding the setup/hold timing requirements.
Ability to understand clock diagrams, clock relationships, timing exceptions, and CDC constraints:
Expertise in analysing clock trees, clock domain crossings (CDC), and defining timing exceptions for accurate analysis. Knowledge of clock skew, jitter, latency, and their impact on timing closure.
Hands-on experience in developing block-level constraints:
Ability to create and fine-tune constraints for smaller, hierarchical blocks in the design, ensuring their timing closure contributes to the overall chip design.
Scripting in Perl/TCL/Shell:
Automation of tasks using
TCL
(tool control language),
Perl , and
Shell Scripting
to generate or validate constraints, process timing reports, or streamline design workflows.
