Job Description and Requirements

 

We Are:

"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:

You are a passionate and innovative SoC Design-For-Test (DFT) engineer looking to make an impact in the field of semiconductor design. With a solid foundation in electrical, electronics, or computer engineering, you possess a deep understanding of design and verification processes. You thrive in a collaborative environment, working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver cutting-edge solutions. You have a knack for problem-solving, with the ability to develop and implement complex DFT methodologies that enhance test coverage and optimize production yield. Your communication skills are top-notch, enabling you to effectively convey technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Whether it’s working on high-performance computing, automotive, or aerospace projects, you are driven by the challenge of pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in SoC design.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • DFT implementation, integration, and verification of System-on-Chip (SoC) and SoC Subsystems from initial specification to tapeout.
  • Handling various aspects of Test architecture including Scan & ATPG, Memory BIST, Logic BIST, Analog/PHY test, and post-silicon support.
  • Developing and executing DFT methodologies, strategies, and guidelines to maximize test coverage, reduce test cost, and optimize production yield.
  • Collaborating with test engineering and validation teams to support post-silicon activities.
  • Implementing DFT for complex SoC/IP/Subsystems.
  • Staying abreast of the latest developments in DFT and incorporating best practices into your work.

The Impact You Will Have:

  • Enhance the testability and reliability of Synopsys’ SoC designs, ensuring high-quality products.
  • Reduce test costs and optimize production yield through innovative DFT strategies.
  • Enable customers to complete their most challenging SoC design projects efficiently.
  • Contribute to the development of cutting-edge technologies in high-performance computing, automotive, aerospace, and more.
  • Support the post-silicon validation and debugging processes, ensuring smooth product launches.
  • Drive continuous improvement in DFT methodologies and practices within the team.

What You’ll Need:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering or equivalent.
  • Minimum of 3+ years’ experience in SoC/IP/Subsystems DFT domain.
  • Proficiency in DFT, including scan & ATPG, memory BIST, logic BIST, analog test, and post-silicon support.
  • Strong understanding of design flow from specification/micro-architecture definition to design and verification, timing analysis, and physical design.
  • Experience with DFT for complex SoC/IP/Subsystems.
  • Good understanding of design concepts, ASIC flows, and stakeholder requirements.
  • Excellent communication skills.

Who You Are:

  • Collaborative and team-oriented.
  • Innovative and solution-focused.
  • Detail-oriented with strong analytical skills.
  • Proactive and self-motivated.
  • Excellent problem-solving abilities.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

The Systems Solutions Group (SSG) delivers tool, methodology, architecture, design creation, design verification, and physical implementation expertise to enable leading-edge customers to complete their most challenging SoC design projects. Our work spans from sub-blocks to full turnkey end-to-end SoCs. Our customers range from start-ups to industry leaders, commercial companies, and government agencies. Our customers develop SoCs for high-performance computing, automotive, aerospace & defense, and more.

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."
