TL;DR · Emulation Verification Engineer

As an Emulation Verification Engineer, you will join the design verification team focused on creating, deploying, and supporting sophisticated emulation environments for large SoCs. You will collaborate with Architecture, Design, Silicon Validation, Power, and Software teams to bring up systems on the Palladium platform while completing detailed test plans. Your daily responsibilities include developing synthesizable monitors, checkers, and stimulus, performing low power testing, and creating code to support emulation activities. The role requires proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, C/C++ DPI, and scripting languages like Perl, Python, or TCL. You will also build random stimulus infrastructure by reusing existing UVM simulation constraints. This position addresses the technical challenge of verifying complex chip designs through advanced emulation flows involving tools such as Palladium, Veloce, Zebu, or FPGA platforms like Xilinx and Altera.

What you'll do

  • Port large SoC designs onto the Palladium emulation platform.
  • Develop and apply synthesizable monitors, checkers, and stimulus for emulation environments.
  • Create and execute detailed test plans for complex SoCs.
  • Perform low power testing specifically on the emulation platform.
  • Write Verilog, SystemVerilog, and UVM code to support design and verification activities.
  • Build random stimulus infrastructure by reusing existing UVM simulation constraints.
  • Debug firmware and develop scripts using Perl, Python, or TCL.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum of BS degree and 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Understanding of the tool flow from RTL to Emulation (preferred).
  • Good understanding of any Standard Emulator or FPGA flow (preferred).
  • Proven design verification skills (preferred).
  • Experience writing synthesizable SystemVerilog/Verilog code and SystemVerilog assertions (preferred).
  • Experience with SystemVerilog verification environments including C/C++ DPI and UVM (preferred).
  • Experience writing and debugging test firmware (preferred).
  • Experience in any scripting language such as Perl, Python, or TCL (preferred).
