• Strengthen Synopsys’ leadership in AI-enabled DFT and automotive-grade MBIST designs. 
• Foster strong customer relationships through technical excellence, problem resolution, and proactive engagement. 
• Empower cross-functional teams with your technical insights, influencing the development and productization of new test technologies.  
• Ensure customer satisfaction and retention through hands-on support, training, and solution delivery.  
• Win new customers by demonstrating Synopsys product advantages via competitive benchmarking and product evaluations.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s degree with 7+ years of relevant industry experience, or MS with 5+ years in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related discipline.  
• Technical excellence and hands-on expertise in RTL design, DFT insertion, ATPG, and end-to-end MBIST solution development.
• Deep understanding of memory architectures and test principles, including fault models, MBIST algorithms, and repair strategies (hard/soft, eFuse-based repair flows).
• Proven track record of delivering Memory BIST solutions for large, complex SoCs with heterogeneous IP integration.
• Experience or exposure to automotive-grade MBIST designs and in-system test (IST) environments is highly desirable.
• Strong working knowledge of industry test and debug standards: IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG), IEEE 1500, IEEE 1687 (IJTAG).
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence teams and engage effectively with customers.

Who You Are:

• Innovative thinker with a passion for solving complex technical challenges.
• Customer-centric, always seeking ways to help clients succeed.
• Effective communicator and collaborator, able to influence and lead cross-functional teams.
• Adaptable and eager to learn new technologies and methodologies.
• Proactive, detail-oriented, and results-driven.
• Leadership qualities with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

 You will join the Product Engineering Team under the Test Group at Synopsys, a dynamic and innovative group dedicated to delivering comprehensive DFT solutions.
