The Role:
As a key contributor to the success of the client's strategic direction and technical growth, you will be responsible for driving and supporting our team in validating silicon designs and implementing new Shift Left initiative technologies. You will foster and encourage continuous technical innovation, including enablement of new SOC and Enterprise Emulation technologies, improving pre-silicon IP and system validation coverage, and cultivating new software enablement. In addition, the candidate will plan and implement shift left work for upcoming products and tightly coordinate and work with the program-specific technical leads including the product Lead System Engineer and product Silicon Evaluation Lead.
This role focuses on pre-silicon emulation debug, development and validation of complex boot flows connections and peripherals in the SOC design.
The Person:
The needs of this role require the candidate to have an in-depth understanding of microprocessor product development, as well as being able to solve multiple concurrent complex problems on aggressive timelines. The candidate must have excellent collaboration and communication skills. The candidate must have a proven track record of working well across teams and delivering projects to completion.
Key Responsibilities:
Directed focus on the goals of improving product time-to-market, quality of hardware, firmware, software, lowering development costs
Work with various pre-silicon tools and concepts such as emulation, FPGA, software models, N-1 silicon usage, etc., including pre-to-post-silicon initiatives
Contribute to high-priority issue debug and execution on critical projects
Drive new capabilities and technologies to effectively enhance system validation quality and coverage prior to silicon arrival
Lead defining shift left strategies for new products with customers
Define key metrics to facilitate and track improvements
Collaborate with other business units within the client to share learning and best practices
Preferred Experience:
Hands-on experience in post-silicon environment.
Hands-on experience validating low-power states such as S0i3.
3+ years of semiconductor development with focused experience in emulation and other shift left technologies and processes.
Knowledge of computer system architecture and microprocessor development
Demonstrated success in product verification, emulation, and post silicon validation
Ability to structure and execute complex analysis, draw insights, and communicate summary findings/recommendations to senior management and to the client customers
Ability to network, build relationships, and drive effective decision-making across multiple functions and levels within the organization
Highly organized, able to prioritize, and juggle multiple work streams to tight deadlines
Knowledge of Verilog, C, C++, assembly, TCL/TK, Python, and/or other scripting languages
Academic Credentials:
Bachelor, Master's or PhD degree in Electrical, Computer, or Software Engineering, or related degree
