Emulation Engineer

Job Description:

Conduct detailed studies of chip architecture and micro-architecture to define, develop, and execute comprehensive pre-silicon test plans.

Verify the design, architecture, and micro-architecture using emulation platforms.

Develop sub-system and chip-level tests using Tcl, ITcl, Python, and C/C++ to verify chip designs in emulation platforms.

Build and synthesize Verilog/SystemVerilog-based models for emulation platforms such as Palladium.

Perform block, sub-system and chip/system-level debugging and root cause analysis for hardware and software issues, addressing pre-silicon challenges.

Develop and optimize automation scripts and emulation methodologies to improve efficiency, reusability, and coverage.

Create reusable synthesizable design blocks, libraries, and verification components to streamline emulation processes.

Build and maintain robust emulation environments that support a global user community.

Collaborate closely with Architecture, Design, DV, and FW/Validation teams to achieve comprehensive verification coverage and smooth project execution.

Requirements:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering or related degree with 8+ years in pre-silicon verification/emulation of ASICs.

Ability to define verification scope and contribute to the development of verification infrastructure.

Experience collaborating with architects, designers, and software engineers to achieve verification goals.

Strong expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog, C/C++, Tcl, Python, and scripting for automation.

Hands-on experience with emulation platforms (Zebu, Palladium), speed bridges, and high-speed interface protocols (e.g., PCIe) is desirable.

Strong debugging skills and familiarity with DPI transactors, assertions, and coverage-driven verification.

Verification engineers with simulation backgrounds are also encouraged to apply — strong verification fundamentals are highly valued.

Excellent communicator who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.
