Role Summary:

We are seeking a skilled and motivated FPGA Prototyping/Emulation Engineer to join our hardware design team. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in FPGA-based prototyping and emulation of complex SoC designs, and will work closely with RTL designers, verification engineers, and software teams to enable early software development and system validation.

The candidate should be able to lead, define and execute a long term strategy for Pre-Si using emulation/FPGA-prototyping platforms. Optimize and automate emulation infrastructure and enable hardware/software/firmware/validation teams for successful and swift execution of microcontroller SoCs.

Job Description:

  • FPGA-based Pre-Silicon validation Platform development for IP and Subsystems
  • IP/SS Design porting and implementation for FPGA
  • Development & bring-up of Pre-Silicon Validation platforms like HAPS-100/Veloce / Palladium/ZeBU or FPGA for the IP/SOC Validation
  • Development and execution of system use case scenarios
  • Ability to work well as part of a team Knowledge/Skills
  • 8-15 years of experience in developing FPGA-based prototype platforms for multi-million gate IP/Subsystem/SoC
  • Should be able to understand system level environment for MicroControllers
  • Planning Test strategy, creating test plan, and test code development to address functional and performance requirements of the IP/Subsystem.
  • Experience with Verilog/System Verilog/VHDL and working knowledge of C/C++
  • Working knowledge of one more of the industry standard Emulation platforms like Veloce / HAPS / Palladium platform
  • Expertise in using validation environment test equipment e.g. Logic Analyzers, Oscilloscope, Protocol Analyzers etc.
  • Experience in working on ARM/RISC-V core architectures would be an advantage.
