Emulation Engineer/Lead

Overview

We are looking for an experienced Emulation Engineer/Lead with strong expertise in pre-silicon validation and hardware emulation platforms. The ideal candidate will work closely with design and verification teams to enable early software bring-up, debug complex SoC issues, and accelerate product validation cycles using FPGA/emulation environments.

Job Description

Candidate must have experience in Pre-Silicon Validation, Emulation/FPGA based platforms

Experience in developing C/C++/SystemC tests in HDL-HVL Co-emulation platforms

Experience in IO bus protocols such as I2C, SPI, USB, and/or PCIe

Experience in debugging tools for systems-on-chip (SoCs) - eg. JTAG, Trace32

Nice To Have Skills and Experience :

Knowledge of ASIC design flow, ASIC prototyping flow, and similar

Knowledge of SystemC/C/C++ and UVM/SV verification languages

Experience in these domains: PCIe, Flash, Memory, CPU, GPU, DRAM

Experience with Emulation Tool Chains: Zebu, Veloce, Palladium.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute test environments on HDL-HVL co-emulation platforms
• Design and implement C/C++/SystemC-based test cases for pre-silicon validation
• Work on FPGA/emulation platforms for early validation and software bring-up
• Debug SoC-level issues using tools like JTAG and Trace32
• Validate and troubleshoot IO protocols such as I2C, SPI, USB, PCIe
• Collaborate with ASIC design, verification, and software teams
• Optimize emulation performance and debug turnaround time
• Support system-level validation including memory, CPU, GPU, and interconnects
