We are seeking an experienced Principal Applications Engineer with DFT expertise to shape how advanced DFT technologies are developed and deployed across semiconductor environments.
As a Principal Applications Engineer, you will lead technical resolutions of test technology deployments, partnering with R&D, Product, and Field teams. You will influence technical priorities on requirements across customer programs and internal initiatives in the areas of test compression technology, integration with scan implementation tools, and test vector generation.
Key responsibilities:
- Lead technical resolutions of test technology deployments
- Influence technical priorities on requirements across customer programs and internal initiatives
- Define and follow best practices for design test methodology reviews
- Drive AI-enabled flow initiatives using TestMAX DFT, TestMAX ATPG, and TestMAX Manager
- Create feedback loops with R&D and Product to improve tool quality, documentation, and enablement
The impact you will have:
- Shape how Synopsys supports customers via field in critical DFT and ATPG engagements
- Catch methodology gaps and tool limitations early, reducing schedule risk before tape-out
- Improve adoption and deployment quality of Synopsys test products
- Create successful outcomes, strengthening trust in strategic accounts
- Influence on how AI and automation are applied to create highly productive in test workflows
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s (with 10+ years) or Master’s (8+ years) degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- Hands-on experience in DFT for SoC and ASIC development
- Deep expertise in ATPG, DFT, BIST, and logic test methodologies
- Strong execution skills and the ability to build technical plans, manage risks and dependencies, lead escalations, and communicate clearly with internal and external stakeholders
- Experience integrating DFT into synthesis flows, creating tester-ready ATPG vectors with signoff results, and supporting tape-out handoff milestones
Rewards and Benefits: We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits.
