About the role

Lead SoC emulation for next-generation AMD SoCs, defining strategy, driving technical execution, and delivering high-performance emulation platforms to enable early software development and de-risk silicon.

Responsibilities

  • Own the SoC emulation strategy for one or more major AMD SoC programs
  • Define emulation scope, milestones, and success criteria aligned with program and silicon schedules
  • Serve as the technical authority for emulation methodology, performance, and debug
  • Influence SoC architecture and RTL decisions to improve emulation efficiency and debuggability
  • Lead bring-up of full-chip and subsystem emulation on enterprise emulation platforms (e.g., Palladium, Veloce, Zebu)
  • Integrate RTL, memory models, testbenches, transactors, and software interfaces
  • Enable early firmware, BIOS, OS, driver, and application software development
  • Debug complex, cross-layer issues spanning RTL, firmware, and software
  • Drive performance optimization, capacity planning, and resource utilization of emulation platforms
  • Partner closely with SoC design, DV, firmware, software, post-silicon, and architecture teams
  • Act as the single-point technical owner for emulation deliverables and readiness
  • Provide clear technical status, risk assessment, and mitigation plans to leadership
  • Support customer, platform, and ecosystem enablement use cases as needed
  • Define and drive automation, CI/regressions, and reuse across emulation environments
  • Establish best practices for emulation bring-up, debug, and software enablement
  • Mentor senior and junior engineers; raise overall emulation capability within AMD
  • Evaluate and deploy new tools, flows, and technologies to improve time-to-value

Qualifications

  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
  • 15+ years of experience in SoC design, verification, emulation, or HW/SW co-development
  • Deep hands-on experience with SoC-level emulation platforms (Palladium, Veloce, Zebu, or equivalent)
  • Strong understanding of complex SoC architectures (CPU, GPU, interconnects, memory subsystems, IO)
  • Expertise in SystemVerilog/Verilog and scripting (Python, Perl, Tcl, Bash, etc.)
  • Proven ability to debug and resolve complex RTL and HW/SW interaction issues
