Software Engineer to contribute to the development and optimization of Static Timing Analysis (STA) tools
Missions
Menta is looking a STA Software Engineer to join our team and contribute to the development and optimization of our Static Timing Analysis (STA) tools. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in either hardware design or software development, with an eagerness to work on complex timing analysis algorithms and improve EDA tool performance. This position offers the opportunity to work on both software development and hardware design concepts, leveraging your understanding of STA principles and translating them into efficient, scalable software solutions.
Responsabilities
Develop and optimize Static Timing Analysis (STA) algorithms for EDA tools.
Collaborate closely with hardware engineers to translate STA concepts into software implementations or with software engineers to enhance tool performance.
Design, implement, and maintain timing analysis features, focusing on optimization and efficiency.
Work on the integration of timing closure tools within the overall design flow.
Contribute to the design of user interfaces (GUI) to visualize timing results and analysis for end-users.
Write clear, maintainable, and efficient code while adhering to best software engineering practices
Conduct performance optimization and handle scalability challenges in large-scale designs
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to continuously improve and update STA algorithms
