About the role

Hands-on ASIC Emulation Engineer to lead emulation of complex networking subsystems and SoCs using ZeBu, Veloce, and Palladium platforms. Define emulation strategy, build scalable environments, enable hardware-software co-verification, and drive functional and performance validation prior to silicon.

Responsibilities

  • Define emulation strategy for complex networking IP, subsystems, and SoCs.
  • Bring up and deploy designs on ZeBu, Veloce, Palladium, or equivalent platforms.
  • Develop reusable emulation environments, transactors, and infrastructure.
  • Drive platform readiness, scalability, stability, and validation closure.
  • Enable firmware boot, driver development, operating-system bring-up, and system-level workloads prior to silicon.
  • Develop and execute end-to-end validation scenarios spanning hardware, firmware, and software.
  • Partner closely with firmware and software teams to accelerate product development and debug.
  • Validate networking and I/O subsystems including Ethernet, PCIe, DMA, RDMA, packet processing, and traffic management.
  • Execute long-running workloads and use cases that are impractical in RTL simulation.
  • Verify throughput, latency, QoS, congestion, and system-level performance against architectural goals.
  • Debug complex issues across RTL, emulation infrastructure, firmware, drivers, and software stacks.
  • Drive workload enablement, regression health, failure triage, and validation closure.
  • Collaborate with architecture, design, verification, and silicon-validation teams.
  • Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership across emulation activities.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, with relevant industry experience.
