Silicon Emulation Engineer

Responsibilities

• Create and support emulation models from RTL. Drive SOC bringup on emulation platforms, debug test failures and simulation/emulation mismatches.
• Develop compile and runtime flows to support various emulation usage models such as functional verification, hybrid simulation, post-si debug, power and software/firmware enablement.
• Develop capabilities to run tests on the emulators and assist in bring-up processes from RTL prototyping through post-silicon validation.
• Work with Tool vendors to drive the requirements and resolve any tool issues.
• Drive and Contribute to the methodology and automation improvements to improve Emulation efficiency and value addition.

Requirements

• In-depth knowledge of digital logic design, CPU/SOC architecture and microarchitecture, and industry standard interfaces and memory subsystems.
• Experienced level knowledge of Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Experienced level knowledge C/C++.Relevant knowledge of verification methodologies and tools such as simulators, waveform viewers, build and run automation.
• Experience with Palladium, Zebu, Veloce, Protium or HAPS.
• Experience with QEmu or other software simulators is a plus.
• Experience in simulation acceleration using transactors or vendors provided accelerated verification IP is a plus.
• Experience in performance analysis/debug techniques.
• Excellent knowledge of one of the scripting languages such as Python, TCL is a plus.
• Excellent skills in problem solving, written and verbal communication, excellent organization skills, and highly self-motivated.
