The Senior Emulation Design Engineer position is your opportunity to join one of the industry’s leading companies in platform security management and ransomware detection for cloud datacenters, 5G infrastructure and disaggregated compute ecosystems. You will be responsible for converting large, complex SOC designs, including third-party IPs, into emulation-ready environments, enabling system level validation and debugging, software development and performance analysis. This role is critical for validating the interoperability of our design with commercial AI servers, and for bridging the gap between hardware and software, as well as supporting SW development.

Key Responsibilities

Partition and synthesize large SOC RTL designs for emulation. Integrate internal and third-party IPs for emulation compatibility, and resolving timing, connectivity and other synthesis issues

Setup and validate high-speed (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, USB) and low-speed (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART) interfaces

Show full description

Configure host servers, boot environments to interact with the emulated design

Integrate, develop and debug transactors, bridges and protocol adapters as needed

Debug and root-cause embedded HW, SW and test failures in emulation

Collaborate with RTL, DV and SW teams to resolve system level bugs

Performance optimization

BS or MS degrees or higher in EE, CE or related fields

7+ years of hands-on experience in prototyping, emulation, SOC design and validation

Self-driven, good problem solving and communication skills

Experience integrating and debugging high-speed and low-speed interfaces

Familiarity with embedded software bring-up and bootloader/kernel interactions

Proficiency with scripting languages (Python, Perl, TCL) for automation

Preferred qualifications include: experience in design verification, hardware/software co-simulation, Linux device drivers, bare-metal FW or boot loaders
