About the role

Experienced virtual prototype engineer to deploy virtual prototype solutions for next-generation cellular and connectivity products. Responsibilities include developing Virtual Platform IP models for complex SoCs, integrating cycle-accurate CPU subsystems, performance modeling, hybrid simulation, speed optimization, IP modelling, test bench development, subsystem integration, VP platform verification, and SW bring-up collaboration.

Responsibilities

  • Develop Virtual Platform IP models for complex SoCs used in cellular software development.
  • Integrate cycle-accurate CPU subsystems for profiling activities, performance modeling, and speed optimization.
  • Create hybrid simulation environments and optimize simulation speeds.
  • Model IPs, develop test benches, and integrate subsystems for VP platform verification.
  • Develop low-level drivers for VP platform verification.
  • Engage in SW bring-up on the simulation platform and provide support to software teams.
  • Collaborate with system engineering, SoC, and SW teams across multiple cross-functional groups.
  • Demonstrate strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Proficient in AI tool usage (e.g., Claude) for coding, debugging, and automation; build AI agents to accelerate simulation workflows.
  • Utilize Git and GitHub for version control, including branching, code reviews, and CI/CD workflows.

Qualifications

  • BE/B.Tech or M.Tech in Electronics Engineering, or an equivalent degree.
  • 7 to 14 years of experience in virtual platform development, including Virtual Prototyping, IP modeling (e.g., SystemC or similar languages), platform integration, and verification for complex SoCs.
  • Strong programming proficiency in C/C++ and scripting experience with Python.
  • Hands-on experience with test bench development, subsystem integration, and developing test cases for VP platform verification.
  • Proven ability to support software bring-up on simulation platforms and assist software teams in a dynamic environment.
  • Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent interpersonal and collaboration skills with experience working across System Engineering, SoC, and SW teams.
  • Deep understanding of CPU architectures, subsystems, and hardware/software interfaces.
  • Experience with integration of cycle-accurate CPU subsystems, performance modeling, hybrid simulation, and speed optimization.
  • Understanding of cellular domain concepts; familiarity with 3GPP standards or L1/L2 layers is a plus.
