Responsibilities
- Lead 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 maximize throughput, turnaround time, and platform utilization.
- Drive emulation capacity planning, resource allocation, and methodology improvements to scale coverage across the design as it matures.
- 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 6 years of pre-silicon emulation experience with an MS degree or 8 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‑solvi
