About the Role
Develop and deploy emulation solutions for complex SoC and chiplet-based designs. Work closely with RTL, DV, architecture, firmware, and software teams to enable early software bring-up, improve verification throughput, and accelerate debug on emulation platforms. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving system-level problems, improving validation efficiency, and building scalable emulation infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain emulation environments for block, subsystem, and full-chip or chiplet systems, including porting simulation test benches and workloads onto hardware-assisted verification platforms.
- Optimize test benches, transactors, trackers, and checkers for emulation readiness, performance, scalability, and regression throughput.
- Drive early use-case verification and software bring-up by integrating boot flows, firmware, bare-metal tests, OS bring-up, and system-level workloads into the emulation environment.
- Debug failures across RTL, test bench, firmware, and emulation infrastructure while creating reusable collateral, scripts, and methodology improvements that help internal teams use emulation more effectively.
Requirements
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Solid experience in SoC or chiplet-based emulation, prototyping, or verification.
- Fluent in SystemVerilog.
- Comfortable working across DPI-C, C or C++, Python, and shell scripting for automation, debug, and test enablement.
- Hands-on experience with commercial emulation platforms such as Cadence Palladium, Synopsys ZeBu, Siemens Veloce, or HAPS.
- Understand how to adapt environments for functionality, performance, and scalability.
- Collaborative and self-driven engineer who works effectively across RTL, DV, firmware, and architecture teams.
- Comfortable debugging issues across hardware and software boundaries.

Equal Opportunity
- We are an equal opportunity employer.
- This offer of employment is contingent upon the applicant being eligible to access U.S. export-controlled technology. Due to U.S. export laws, including those codified in the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Company is required to ensure compliance with these laws when transferring technology to nationals of certain countries (such as EAR Country Groups D:1, E1, and E2). These requirements apply to persons located in the U.S. and all countries outside the U.S. As the position offered will have direct and/or indirect access to information, systems, or technologies subject to these laws, the offer may be contingent upon your citizenship/permanent residency status or ability to obtain prior license approval from the U.S. Commerce Department or applicable federal agency. If employment is not possible due to U.S. export laws, any offer of employment will be rescinded.
