• Work closely with RTL and Verification teams to ensure DFT requirements are integrated early in the design cycle.
• Analyze and resolve DFT-related issues using tools such as Spyglass DFT, ensuring robust test coverage and manufacturability.
• Perform scan STA (Static Timing Analysis) to validate timing closure and optimize testability paths.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and implement best practices for DFT methodologies and flows.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of automation scripts and design flows to boost efficiency and reduce turnaround time.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Enhance the testability and reliability of cutting-edge ASIC products, reducing defect rates and improving time-to-market.
• Drive innovation in DFT flows, setting new standards for quality and efficiency within the organization.
• Enable successful silicon validation and ramp-up, directly contributing to customer satisfaction and business growth.
• Represent Synopsys as a technical leader in the industry, influencing best practices and future technology directions.
• Empower cross-functional teams by sharing expertise, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration.
• Contribute to the development of next-generation technologies in AI, automotive, and other high-impact sectors.

What You'll Need:

• Extensive hands-on experience with 3-10yrs in DFT methodologies, including scan insertion and ATPG for complex ASIC designs.
• Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools such as Spyglass DFT and scan STA analysis suites.
• Strong understanding of digital logic design, RTL coding, and verification principles.
• Demonstrated ability to debug and resolve DFT-related issues across multiple project phases.
• Solid scripting skills (e.g., TCL, Perl, Python) to automate design and test flows.

Who You Are:

• Collaborative team player who communicates effectively across functions and cultures.
• Proactive problem solver, comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change.
• Detail-oriented and highly organized, with a commitment to delivering high-quality results.
• Inclusive and open-minded, eager to share knowledge and mentor others.
• Self-motivated and driven by curiosity, with a continuous learning mindset.

The Team You'll Be A Part Of:
You will join a dynamic and innovative DFT team within Synopsys' Engineering organization in Bangalore. The team is dedicated to advancing ASIC testability and reliability, working collaboratively with design, verification, and software groups across the globe. Our culture values technical excellence, mentorship, and cross-disciplinary innovation, providing opportunities to work on industry-leading products that power the next wave of intelligent systems.

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.
