The Senior Systems Prototyping and Emulation Engineer joins the Emulation team to build FPGA prototypes and hardware emulation environments for next-generation GPUs, SOCs, NICs, and Switches. The role involves making RTL designs emulation-friendly, partitioning designs, managing synthesis and place-and-route flows, and resolving timing bottlenecks. You will bring up designs on platforms like Synopsys ZeBu or Siemens Veloce, develop C/C++ testbenches, and optimize high-performance software interfaces to enable pre-silicon software development. Required expertise includes Verilog, SystemVerilog, and tools such as Synopsys ProtoCompiler, Vivado, VCS, and Verdi. You will work with protocols like PCIe, CXL, NVLINK, and USB while managing complex system topologies involving multiple ASICs. The role solves the challenge of creating scalable, high-performance emulation environments to facilitate validation and performance analysis for sophisticated multi-ASIC systems and high-speed interconnects.
