• Implementing and validating MBIST, including BIST architecture planning, memory grouping, pattern generation, validation, silicon bring-up, diagnostics analysis, and debug.
• Collaborating with RTL designers and verification teams to define DFT architecture and test strategy for complex SoCs and ASICs.
• Performing scan insertion, test point insertion, ATPG pattern generation, and fault coverage analysis.
• Implementing and validating memory BIST, logic BIST, boundary scan, and other DFT features as needed.
• Supporting tape-out readiness by delivering high-quality test logic and test patterns.
• Working directly with clients to provide technical guidance, debug DFT issues, and optimize test quality.
• Writing and maintaining documentation, test plans, and DFT insertion guidelines.
• Staying current with evolving DFT methodologies and tool capabilities; suggesting and implementing improvements.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Enhancing Synopsys' ability to deliver cutting-edge test solutions that meet customer needs.
• Contributing to the successful integration and silicon bring-up of complex digital ICs.
• Driving innovation in test methodologies and technologies.
• Supporting the development of next-gen test technologies that push the boundaries of what's possible.
• Playing a key role in winning new customers and expanding Synopsys' market presence.
• Ensuring the delivery of high-quality, reliable test solutions that meet industry standards.

What You’ll Need:

• Minimum BS+10 years of relevant experience/MS+8 years of relevant experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or other relevant fields of study.
• Experience with RTL coding, DFT insertion, ATPG, MBIST architecture planning, insertion, validation, pattern generation, and silicon bring-up.
• Excellent knowledge of memory BIST flows, memory fault models, MBIST algorithms, hard/soft repair, and eFuse repair flow.
• Experience in handling memory BIST for large, complex SoCs with various IPs.
• Exposure to MBIST of automotive designs is a plus.
• Good understanding of protocols like 1149.1, 1500, 1687.

Who You Are:

You possess excellent soft skills and can communicate effectively with various stakeholders. You are highly motivated, proactive, and can work independently with limited supervision. Your advanced knowledge and wide-ranging experience enable you to work on complex issues requiring in-depth evaluation of various factors. You are a sophisticated professional who can communicate and influence parties within and outside your subfamily area.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

The Test Group at Synopsys is a critical part of the change, delivering a complete DFT solution to fulfill customer needs. You will be part of the Fast Solution Team, working closely with Solution Architects and other engineers to develop and productize next-gen test technologies. This team is dedicated to driving innovation and ensuring customer success through comprehensive test solutions.

Rewards and Benefits:

We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings. Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.
