• This position provides an opportunity to innovate and influence methodologies, tools, and processes while tackling complex challenges in the cutting-edge field of semiconductor design.

• Key Responsibilities
• - Build emulation and FPGA models using synthesis, partitioning, and routing tools to translate RTL designs into working prototypes.
• - Develop, integrate, test, and debug hardware/software collateral to support emulation, including hybrid environments combining virtual platforms and FPGA/emulation models.
• - Define and deliver new capabilities and tools to improve emulation usability, efficiency, and validation coverage.
• - Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enable pre-silicon verification and software development through optimized emulation platforms.
• - Debug RTL tests and troubleshoot emulator/FPGA environment issues to ensure usability and reliability.
• - Provide guidance to pre-silicon validation teams on optimizing test environments, test suites, and methodologies for emulation efficiency.
• - Focus on automation by developing scripts and flows to enhance emulation utilization and productivity.
• - Participate in IP and SoC bring-up and investigate issues impacting testbench and emulation environments for rapid resolution.

Qualifications:

• Minimum Qualifications
• - Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• - 8+ years of experience in ASIC (Logic/RTL Design) and/or FPGA prototyping.
• - Proficiency in simulation environments/tools for debug (e.g., VCS, ModelSim, Quartus, Vivado).
• - Advanced knowledge of mapping complex SoC designs into multi-FPGA platforms, with experience using prototyping systems like Zebu, Veloce, HAPS 80, Palladium, or related tools.
• - Experience in pre-silicon prototyping tools, flows, and methodologies (e.g., Vivado, Quartus, ProtoCompiler, VPS).
• - Hands-on expertise in FPGA prototyping, silicon verification, and/or system validation.

• Preferred Qualifications
• - 8+ years of experience in Logic/RTL Design or emulation/prototyping.
• - Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++, Python, Perl, TCL, and GDB.
• - Familiarity with industry standards and bus protocols including PCIe, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, and AMBA.
• - Experience developing Simics models for hybrid/virtual platforms.
