Senior Emulation Engineer

The role

You will validate complex AI accelerator architectures on emulation platforms before tape-out. This role involves setting up emulation platforms and supporting pre-silicon validation and software bring-up.

What you will do

• Set up and maintain Siemens Veloce emulation and prototyping platforms
• Adapt SoC designs for Emulation and Prototyping
• Develop and debug emulation testbenches and system-level environments
• Support pre-silicon validation, power/performance analysis, and early software bring-up
• Participate in silicon bring-up and validation
• Collaborate with design and verification teams to isolate design issues and accelerate debug
• Optimize performance of the emulation workloads and reduce turnaround time
• Work with firmware/software teams to enable use of emulators for OS and driver testing

Required qualifications

• BS/MS/Ph.D. in EE, CS, or related field
• 7+ years of SoC design experience
• Experience with emulation platforms (Veloce, Palladium, or ZeBu)
• Experience with FPGA-based prototyping systems (proFPGA, HAPS, or Protium)
• Experience with emulating high speed I/O interfaces such as PCIe and UCIe and memory technologies such as LPDDR and HBM
• Solid understanding of digital design, RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog), and SoC architecture
• Proficiency in hardware debug tools, waveform viewers, and logic analyzers
• Scripting skills (e.g., Python, Tcl, Perl) for automation and infrastructure development
• Familiarity with UVM, simulation, and testbench environments

Nice to have

• SystemVerilog and UVM-based verification experience
• Hand-on software development experience with C/C++
