The Emulation Engineer / Emulation Platform Engineer joins the DSP Architecture and Design team to manage, build, and launch verification jobs on hardware emulation platforms such as Veloce, Palladium, or ZeBu. This role focuses on accelerating pre-silicon validation and ensuring high-quality RTL delivery by configuring platforms for design bring-up and regression runs. Key responsibilities include compiling and partitioning RTL designs, developing automation scripts, managing resource allocation, and collaborating with verification engineers to port testbenches. The candidate will utilize SystemVerilog, Git, Python, Tcl, or Shell scripting to manage workflows. Technical requirements include experience with the Angel debug monitor for semihosting and low-level diagnostics, as well as knowledge of UVM-based environments. This role addresses critical pre-silicon validation challenges by providing a hardware-based environment to resolve synthesis issues and perform early-stage target bring-up for high-performance microprocessor designs.
