  • Experience in silicon validation planning, execution, validation FW development, and validation sign-off
  • Experience using lab equipment, such as scopes, BERTs, protocol analyzers, JTAG debuggers, etc
  • Experience with building silicon validation infrastructure and test automation, in highly cross-functional environments - across multiple team sites

Nice to have

  • 2+ years track record of delivering emulation/prototyping models from RTL onto industry-standard platforms (e.g., Synopsys/ZeBu, Cadence Palladium/Protium, Siemens/Veloce)
  • 2+ years of experience developing compilation/build flows, including experience building emulator models from scratch and troubleshooting build/compile issues
  • Proficiency in developing emulation testbenches in SystemVerilog and/or C/C++, including transactors and model integration
  • Background working on emulation methodology to accelerate both hardware verification and software development (e.g., enabling SW bring-up on emulation)
  • Bring-up and debug experience on complex SoCs implemented in pre-silicon, including high-speed interfaces such as PCIe and DDR, plus common SoC interconnect/peripheral interfaces
  • Experience developing validation components and automation to improve emulation debug/efficiency (e.g., checkers, monitors, performance tooling), including scripting in Python and/or Tcl
  • Experience architecting emulation systems across scales, from IP blocks to full SoCs to multi-chip systems, including managing multiple design drops/releases
  • Experience creating and executing emulation test plans, with a track record of improving model quality and enabling pre-silicon validation
  • Demonstrated experience building emulation tools, workflows, and infrastructure, partnering effectively with RTL, verification, validation, and software teams
  • History of “first-pass success” and effective debug closure across pre- and post-silicon, including reproducing/triaging silicon issues on an emulator and partnering with EDA vendors to resolve tool/platform issues
