- Support emulation bring-up of CPU RTL on hardware emulation platforms, including design partitioning, clock domain handling, and memory/IO modeling.
- Develop and maintain testbench infrastructure, C/C++ DPI-based transactors, and speed bridges enabling emulation-based execution of firmware, bootloaders, and OS-level workloads.
- Debug complex hardware/software interaction issues surfaced during emulation runs, collaborating with RTL, verification, and software teams to isolate and resolve root causes.
- Build and optimize emulation compile, regression, and debug flows to improve throughput, turnaround time, and platform utilization.
- Contribute to emulation capacity planning and methodology improvements as design coverage scales.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with design, verification, and post-silicon validation teams to define emulation test plans and bridge pre-silicon and post-silicon validation.

Qualifications & Skills

Education
- Bachelor's (BS) or Master's (MS) degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.





Experience
- Minimum 4 years of pre-silicon emulation experience with an MS degree or 6 years with a BS degree, including hands-on work with hardware emulation platforms (e.g., Synopsys ZeBu, Siemens Veloce, Cadence Palladium) on CPU or SoC designs.
- Expertise in SystemVerilog and Python for testbench and transactor development, debugging, and scripting automation.
- Familiarity with ARM, x86, or RISC-V architectures and assembly language programming.
- Programming experience in industry-standard languages (e.g., C, C++, Perl, Python).
- Experience with RTL compile/synthesis flows for emulation, design partitioning, and timing/clocking considerations specific to emulation platforms.
- Familiarity with standard SoC interface protocols (e.g., PCIe, DDR, USB, AXI, SPI, I2C) relevant to system-level bring-up on emulation.
- Exceptional problem-solving skills with the ability to debug complex hardware/so
