Job Description: In this role, the Engineer will apply and lead Broadcom's proven design methodology and milestone flow to meet rigorous criteria for achieving Right-First-Time silicon. The STA Engineer is responsible for ensuring robust timing closure and signoff readiness for block- and full-chip designs across all modes and corners. This role owns timing constraint development and validation, performs detailed setup/hold and variation-aware analysis, and partners closely with Synthesis, CTS, Physical Design, and Design teams to debug violations and drive ECO-based optimizations through tape out. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: - Perform full-chip and block-level Static Timing Analysis (STA) across all modes and corners. - Analyze and debug setup, hold, recovery, removal, clock gating, and signal integrity-related timing violations. - Work closely with Physical Design, Synthesis, CTS, and Design teams to achieve timing closure. - Develop and maintain timing constraints including SDC creation, validation, and signoff readiness. - Drive timing closure through ECO implementation and timing optimization. - Analyze timing impact due to process, voltage, and temperature variations. - Support timing signoff for pre-layout and post-layout stages. - Perform cross-functional reviews for timing convergence and provide recommendations. - Generate timing reports and communicate closure status to project stakeholders. Minimum Qualifications: - MSEE/MSCS with 10+ years of experience, or BSEE/BSCS with 12+ years of experience in Static Timing Analysis (STA) and timing closure for block and/or full-chip designs. - Strong understanding of CMOS fundamentals, timing concepts, and semiconductor design flow. - Hands-on experience in setup/hold analysis, path-based analysis, OCV/AOCV/POCV, derates, and MMMC concepts. - Good understanding of clock tree, clock uncertainty, latency, skew, and jitter. - Experience in timing constraints development and debugging. - Strong knowledge of SDC, timing exceptions, false paths, multicycle paths, and case analysis. - Familiarity with timing closure techniques and ECO methodologies. - Hands-on experience with industry-standard STA tools such as Synopsys PrimeTime or Cadence Tempus. - Good scripting skills in Tcl, Perl, or Python. - Ability to analyze and resolve timing violations independently. - Exposure to low-power timing analysis and UPF/CPF-aware STA. - Familiarity with SI-aware timing, Crosstalk analysis, and IR-drop-aware timing closure. - Knowledge of advanced technology nodes and variation-aware signoff methodologies. - Exposure to automation and flow development. - Experience in cross-functional collaboration with PD, RTL, and Signoff teams. Broadcom is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
