Emulation Engineer
Role Overview
Conduct detailed studies of chip architecture and micro-architecture to define, develop, and execute comprehensive pre-silicon test plans.
Verify the design, architecture, and micro-architecture using emulation platforms.
Develop sub-system and chip-level tests using Tcl, ITcl, Python, and C/C++ to verify chip designs in emulation platforms.
Build and synthesize Verilog/SystemVerilog-based models for emulation platforms such as Palladium.
Perform block, sub-system and chip/system-level debugging and root cause analysis for hardware and software issues, addressing pre-silicon challenges.
Develop and optimize automation scripts and emulation methodologies to improve efficiency, reusability, and coverage.
Create reusable synthesizable design blocks, libraries, and verification components to streamline emulation processes.
Build and maintain robust emulation environments that support a global user community.
Collaborate closely with Architecture, Design, DV, and FW/Validation teams to achieve comprehensive verification coverage and smooth project execution.
