Job description

At Synopsys, we drive the innovations that shape the way we live and connect. Our technology is central to the Era of Pervasive Intelligence, from self-driving cars to learning machines. We lead in chip design, verification, and IP integration, empowering the creation of high-performance silicon chips and software content. Join us to transform the future through continuous technological innovation.

You are an innovative thinker with a passion for technology and a knack for problem-solving. With a strong background in Electrical or Computer Engineering, you excel in Design for Test (DFT) methodologies and have extensive experience in digital IC design. You thrive in a collaborative environment, working closely with customers to understand their needs and deliver cutting-edge solutions. Your ability to multitask and manage priorities makes you a valuable asset in fast-paced, project-oriented settings. You are dedicated to customer success, providing technical support and training to ensure optimal satisfaction. Your excellent communication skills enable you to interact effectively with end-users and managers alike, making you a trusted advisor and partner in their design and implementation journeys. You are excited by the shift toward AI-assisted and agentic EDA workflows, you see LLM-driven agents as a way to multiply your technical impact and are comfortable putting agentic tooling in front of demanding customers to deliver value

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Providing expertise for test solutions during design planning, budgeting, and implementation.
• Conducting test methodology design rules checking during RTL coding stages.
• Implementing and validating DFT techniques such as scan compression, core wrapping, and logic & memory Built-In Self-Test (BIST).
• Generating and validating Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) patterns, including advanced fault models.
• Participating in customer design and flow reviews to ensure seamless integration.
• Analysing and debugging diagnostics to resolve technical issues efficiently.
• Supporting tape-out readiness by delivering high-quality test logic and test patterns.
• Deploying and tuning agentic AI flows for DFT — scan insertion, ATPG setup, DRC triage, and diagnostics — at customer sites, and feeding real-world findings back into the product roadmap.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Enhancing customer satisfaction by delivering tailored DFT solutions that meet their specific needs.
• Driving innovation by developing and productizing next-generation test technologies.
• Improving the quality and reliability of digital IC designs through rigorous testing and validation.
• Contributing to the success of Synopsys by winning new customers through effective product demonstrations and evaluations.
• Shaping how the industry adopts agentic AI for test by turning customer engagements into productized agent capabilities, shortening DFT setup and debug cycles from weeks to days.

What You’ll Need:

• BSc with 7+ years/MSc with 5+ years of relevant experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or other relevant fields of study.
• Experience with RTL coding, DFT insertion, scan synthesis, ATPG, and MBIST architecture planning.
• Excellent knowledge in pattern generation and silicon bring-up processes.
• Strong understanding of protocols like 1149.x, 1500 ad 1687.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to analyze and debug complex issues.
• Practical fluency with LLM-based coding assistants and agentic tools in an engineering workflow, and a clear point of view on where they can deliver value

Who You Are:

• An effective communicator with the ability to convey technical concepts clearly and concisely.
• A collaborative team player who thrives in a project-oriented environment.
• Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills to manage multiple priorities.
• A proactive learner who stays updated with the latest technological advancements, including agentic-based workflows
• Customer-focused with a commitment to delivering high-quality solutions.
• Innovative and creative in developing new methodologies and approaches.
