Role Overview Astera Labs is establishing a strategic R&D center in Israel to drive the development of complex semiconductor chips that solve the critical 'data bottlenecks' enabling the future of AI at scale. As we expand our presence in Israel, we're seeking a highly skilled Static Timing Analysis (STA) Engineer to join our local engineering powerhouse from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity to take on meaningful technical ownership in a new site, executing the sign-off methodology for chips that power the world's most advanced AI clusters. As an STA Engineer, you will be deeply involved in the STA activities from chip partition and time budgeting through to final sign-off. You will bridge the gap between Architecture, Design, DFT, and Physical Design to ensure our high-performance silicon meets the aggressive timing targets required for next-generation connectivity. Key Responsibilities Execute the STA flow and sign-off methodologies, ensuring our products meet rigorous timing criteria for the most demanding data center environments Collaborate closely with Architecture, Design, DFT, and Backend teams, participating in timing reviews and working with block owners t
