SOC Emulation Engineer

JOB TITLE: SOC Emulation Engineer

LOCATION: Santa Clara, CA or Austin, TX

Direct Hire

SALARY RANGE: $150,000 - $180,000

TOP 4 SKILLS:

1.) In-depth knowledge of digital logic design, CPU/SOC architecture and microarchitecture, and industry standard interfaces and memory subsystems.

2.) Experienced level knowledge of Verilog/SystemVerilog.

3.) Experienced level knowledge C/C .Relevant knowledge of verification methodologies and tools such as simulators, waveform viewers, build and run automation.

4.) Experience with Palladium, Zebu, Veloce, Protium or HAPS.

In this role, you will help develop Emulation and FPGA based prototyping systems to serve our SOC projects. You will directly work with architecture, design, verification and software/firmware teams to bring up emulation models and develop capabilities that serve various use cases such Functional verification, Performance, Software/Firmware bringup, Running realistic workloads, Power estimation, Hybrid-simulation, enable post-silicon debug e.t.c. This role may include develop and debug emulation flows, designing testbenches, monitors or transactors for Emulation or Prototyping, synthesize the RTL for emulation, develop RTL collaterals for Emulation e.t.c.

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.
