TL;DR · Careers

As a GPU Validation and Emulation Engineer at our cutting-edge semiconductor company, you will join the hardware engineering team to develop and validate complex digital designs. Your daily tasks include synthesizing Verilog RTL for high-performance emulation on platforms like Veloce, Palladium, or Zebu, as well as integrating third-party IP and debugging system-level issues. You will work closely with designers and software teams to optimize test plans and improve the efficiency of FPGA-based simulations. Ideal candidates have a background in electrical engineering and at least one year of hands-on experience with hardware emulation tools and methodologies, along with strong skills in Verilog/SystemVerilog, C/C++, and scripting languages like Python or Tcl. This role demands expertise in design validation, post-silicon debugging, and system-level RTL simulation to ensure the successful bring-up and debug of cutting-edge GPU chips.

What you'll do

  • Synthesize Verilog RTL and compile models for hardware emulators like Veloce/Palladium/Zebu.
  • Develop emulator implementation focusing on design partitioning, synthesis, place and route, timing analysis.
  • Debug failures on emulator using advanced technologies; collaborate with designers and software teams.
  • Optimize synthesized FPGA RTL area and performance by working with tool vendors and pushing methodologies.
  • Integrate third-party IP and perform system-level debugging for complex designs.
  • Conduct system level RTL simulation and design verification to ensure functionality and reliability.
  • Support chip bring-up and post-silicon debug activities, including functional and timing model debugging.

What we're looking for

  • 1+ years of hands-on experience with hardware emulation platforms like Palladium, ZeBu, Veloce.
  • 1+ years of experience creating high-performance and area-efficient emulation environments from RTL.
  • Experience in design validation and post-silicon debug.
  • Proficiency in Verilog and System Verilog for RTL simulation and verification.
  • Knowledge of FPGA systems based on Xilinx or Altera FPGAs.
  • Skills in debugging system-level software and RTL.
