SDC Consultant - Remote Working - Inside IR35 - 6+ Months Rolling Contract

Title: SDC Consultant (Static Timing Analysis/Constraints Consultant)

Location: Remote Working

Duration: 6months + Rolling

Budget: £70 - £80 per hour, all inclusive

THIS PROJECT IS INSIDE IR35

My client requires and SDC Consultant (Static Timing Analysis/Constraints Consultant) that focuses on managing and validating the timing aspects of digital design in semiconductor engineering.

Required Skills:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
