Job Description

About the role:

At Synopsys, you will work on DFT solutions that shape how the industry builds and tests silicon, and the customers you support will remember the difference you made.

What you will do:

- Work directly with semiconductor customers to understand their DFT challenges, design constraints, and tool flow requirements, then translate those into technical solutions using Synopsys DFT tools including TestMAX Manager.

- Configure, customize, and deploy DFT tool flows tailored to customer designs, including scan insertion, ATPG, and verification using TestMAX ATPG, Formality, and VCS.

- Deliver hands-on technical demos and proof-of-concept implementations that show customers exactly how the toolset solves their specific design and test problems.

- Script automation solutions in TCL, Python, or Perl to streamline customer workflows, improve tool adoption, and address gaps in existing flows.

- Collaborate with Account teams to gather requirements, align on customer priorities, and provide regular technical updates throughout the engagement lifecycle.

- Partner with R&D to surface customer feedback, reproduce tool issues, and influence product roadmap decisions based on real-world design challenges.

- Stay current on DFT methodologies, semiconductor design trends, and emerging test strategies to ensure the solutions you deliver remain relevant and scalable.

What we're looking for:

- Master's degree (M.Tech or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.

- 8 - 12 years of hands-on experience in semiconductor design, DFT engineering, or related domains with direct exposure to VLSI design principles and design flows.

- Deep working knowledge of Design for Testability methodologies, including scan insertion, ATPG, and DFT verification techniques.

- Proficiency in scripting languages such as TCL, Python, or Perl for automation, tool customization, and workflow optimization.

- Direct experience with semiconductor design tools and flows, exposure to TestMAX Manager, Formality, VCS, or TestMAX ATPG is a strong plus.

- Demonstrated ability to work directly with customers, gather technical requirements, and deliver solutions that meet both technical and business objectives.

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a track record of diagnosing complex tool or design issues and finding practical paths forward.

About the team:

- You will join a team of Product Engineers and Product Specialists focused on advancing semiconductor design methodologies and delivering measurable value to customers.

- This team works closely with Application Engineers and R&D to ensure customer needs are met with solutions that are reliable, scalable, and grounded in real-world design challenges.

- The work you do here protects Synopsys' reputation for excellence in the semiconductor industry and directly influences how customers experience and adopt our DFT toolset.
