Architect and maintain builds for emulation models and resolve build issues.
Interface emulation hardware with virtual systems, simulation environments, and silicon validation.
Architect and implement transactors between software test benches and emulation hardware.
Create automated verification flows for graphics verification.
Develop new technologies to leverage simulation and hardware acceleration for new applications.
Work with pre-silicon validation teams to develop and implement support plans.

What we're looking for

Bachelor's degree and 3 years of relevant experience.
Experience with CPU and/or GPU architecture and microarchitecture.
Experience with writing synthesizable code.
Experience with one or more of the following programming languages: C/C++, Perl, Ruby, Python.
Demonstrated ability to build emulation models, run tests, and debug issues in a schedule-oriented silicon design project (preferred).
Ability to debug hardware issues from waveforms (preferred).
Ability to interface emulation hardware with virtual systems, simulation environments, and silicon validation (preferred).
Experience with DPI/transactors (preferred).
