ASIC Digital Design Staff Engineer
SynopsysJob Title
ASIC Digital Design Staff Engineer
Role Summary
As a Staff Engineer on the DFT team in Bengaluru you will lead scan insertion, ATPG flows, and scan STA for complex ASIC designs, collaborating with RTL, verification, and cross-functional teams to ensure testability and manufacturability.
Work focuses on improving DFT flows and automation, supporting silicon bring-up for products in AI, automotive, and other high-impact domains.
Experience Level
Senior — title indicates staff-level leadership. Source indicates 3–6 years of hands-on DFT experience; the role expects ownership of DFT execution and mentoring responsibilities.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Lead and execute scan insertion and ATPG flows for complex ASIC designs.
- Perform scan static timing analysis (scan STA) and validate timing closure for test paths.
- Collaborate with RTL and verification teams to integrate DFT requirements early in the design cycle.
- Analyze and resolve DFT-related issues using tools such as Spyglass DFT.
- Develop and improve automation scripts and design/test flows to increase efficiency and reduce turnaround time.
- Share expertise and mentor junior engineers on DFT best practices.
Requirements
Must-have qualifications and skills:
- Extensive hands-on experience with DFT methodologies, source indicates 3–6 years working with scan insertion and ATPG on complex ASICs.
- Proficiency with EDA tools for DFT 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.
- Scripting skills to automate flows (TCL, Perl, Python).
Nice-to-have:
- Experience improving automation and DFT flows to reduce turnaround time.
- Experience supporting silicon validation and ramp-up.
Education Requirements
