Senior Emulation Engineer
Job Description
- Builds emulation and FPGA models and solutions from RTL design using synthesis, partitioning, and routing tools.
- Develops, integrates, tests, and debugs hardware and software collateral in simulation, emulation, and FPGA models for testing new features, writes directed tests, develops the test environment and hybrid emulation environment, and supports verification of hardware and software/firmware.
- Defines and develops new capabilities and tools to achieve better verification through improved emulation and FPGA model usability.
- Enables acceleration of RTL development and improve emulation/FPGA model usability for pre-silicon verification, post-silicon validation, and software development.
- Develops improvements to usability by RTL validation and debugging of failing RTL tests on the emulation platform and interfaces with and provides guidance to verification teams for optimizing pre-silicon verification environments, test suites, and methodologies for emulation efficiency.
- Develops and utilizes automation aids, flows, and scripts in support of emulation utilization.
- Applies understanding of emulation and FPGA prototyping tools and methodologies, SoC integration, emulation transactors, emulation performance and optimization techniques, RTL simulation, and hybrid emulation environments (virtual platform and FPGA/emulation model).
- Collaborates with design, power and performance, silicon validation, and software teams, and participates in SoC and IP bring up, root causes testbench issues, IP and SoC testcases, and emulator/FPGA environment issues.
