Full Job Description
Job Description:
The Architecture Co-Verification team (ACOV) is an exciting, fast paced team responsible for enabling HW/FW development and coverification of state-of-art System-On-Chip (SoC) devices using industry leading HW emulators (such as Cadence Palladium and Protium). The team is deployed in all aspects of SoC development phases from architectural exploration to post-silicon validation, HW/FW codevelopment, pre-silicon functional co-verification, pre/post-silicon performance testing, power analysis, and critical post-silicon investigations.
As a Senior Engineer II - Emulation, you will be working closely with hardware designers, firmware engineers, and verification teams throughout the SoC development process.
This is a role for a versatile engineer that enjoys the challenges of HW/FW co-development and system level co-verification using leading edge HW emulators and FPGA platforms. It’s a high visibility role that will develop a wide range of skills and exceptional problem-solving
ability.
Responsibilities could include, but are not limited to the following:
3 Porting SoC RTL to industry leading HW emulators and FPGA platforms.
3 Developing emulation specific HW for pre-silicon subsystem/system level co-verification.
3 Developing common test ecosystem across pre/post silicon.
3 Developing FW and tests for pre-silicon subsystem/system level co-verification.
3 Troubleshoot and resolve complex problems in embedded multi-core real-time systems executing emulation test plans.
3 Utilize state of the art protocol analyzers for analysis and error injection.
3 Utilization of test and defect tracking tools to document and report on verification progress and product quality.
3 Effectively present technical information to small teams of engineers.
Requirements/Qualifications:
3 BS/MS degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or Computer Engineering
3 3 7.5 to 10 years of relevant work experience.
3 3 7.5+ years' experience with one or more serial protocols such as SAS/SATA/NVMe and a thorough knowledge of PCIe.
3 Knowledge of key components of a server and storage solution including Windows/Linux host driver architectures.
3 Willing to learn in a fast-paced environment, and being an organized self-starter.
3 Proficient Linux experience and strong programming/scripting skills with languages such as C, Python, Tcl and Bash.
3 Proficient in digital design, RTL coding with VHDL, Verilog, or System Verilog experience.
3 Creation & management of system validation testing schedules and their execution.
3 Knowledge of MIPS, ARM, or RISC-V architecture, including JTAG, I2C, and firmware programming.
Desired Skills:
3 Excellent analytical and documentation skills.
3 Strong problem solving, communication and interpersonal skills are required.
3 Ability to quickly learn new technologies.
3 Highly motivated team player who sets personal goals and achieves those goals without supervision.
3 Experience with RAID HBA’s, SAS Controllers and their associated Software Testing Strategies in an asset.
3 Experience with test automation, testing methodologies, and test tools.
3 Isolation and resolution of complex software & firmware problems in embedded real-time systems.
3 Troubleshoot and resolve complex problems in embedded multi-core real-time systems.
3 Knowledge of Embedded Linux development as well as RTOS constructs including processes, threads, scheduling, synchronization mechanisms, memory management.
3 Cadence infrastructure support and process flows in an asset.
