Job Description:

The Architecture Co-Verification team (ACOV) is an exciting, fast-paced team responsible for enabling HW/FW development and co-verification 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 co-development, pre-silicon functional co-verification, pre/post-silicon performance testing, power analysis, and critical post-silicon investigations.

As an Emulation Engineer, you will be working closely with architects, 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 abilities.

Responsibilities could include but are not limited to the following:

• Managing a multi-location, cross functional team of engineers and technicians

• Planning and developing a common test ecosystem across pre/post silicon

• Using Jira to plan and track project tasks and report results

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex problems in embedded multi-core real-time systems executing emulation test plans.

• Utilization of test and defect tracking tools to document and report on verification progress and product quality

• Effectively present technical information to small teams of engineers.

Requirements/Qualifications:

• BS/MS/PhD in degree or higher in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or Computer Engineering

• 12.5+ years of experience in leading FPGA/ASIC/EDA development, simulation and verification projects.

• 2+ years' experience with one or more serial storage protocols such as SAS, SATA, NVMe, CXL and thorough knowledge of the PCIe interface.

• In-depth knowledge of CXL protocols.

• Experience working with large scale FPGA solutions

• Thorough understanding of digital design, RTL coding and simulation

• Prior knowledge and experience in HDL languages (Verilog, VHDL and SystemVerilog)

• Working knowledge of C/C++, TCL or Perl/Python languages.

• Excellent verbal and written communicational skills.

• Effective team player, collaborator, and a great motivator for team.

• Ability to work in a multi-location, cross functional team

• Proficiency in lab equipment usage for test and debug

• Microcontroller programming skills are desirable

Desirable:

• Cadence infrastructure support and maintenance flows

• Proficient in using Agile methodologies and Bug tracking tools

Optional Desired Skills that can be included/replaced above-

• Experience with RAID HBA's, SAS Controllers and their associated Software Testing Strategies.

• Experience with Computer System I/O hierarchies and interconnects, specifically with PCI-Express protocols and infrastructure.

• Experience with Storage IO Generators (IOMeter, Medusa, FIO).

• Knowledgeable in use of tool chains and debug tools.

• Experience with test automation, testing methodologies, and test tools.

• Isolation and resolution of complex software & firmware problems in embedded real-time systems.

• Familiarity with hardware design and implementation.

• Experience troubleshooting server system hardware and networking infrastructure to root cause issues.

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex problems in embedded multi-core real-time systems.

• Knowledge of Embedded Linux development as well as RTOS constructs including processes, threads, scheduling, synchronization mechanisms, memory management.

• Knowledge of MIPS, ARM, or RISC-V CPU architecture and firmware programming
