Hardware Engineer • Staff

Who you are

You hold a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or possess equivalent practical experience. With over 10 years of experience in Design Verification and Emulation, you have successfully led SoC-level projects from planning to closure. Your expertise in Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) development, particularly with System Verilog and Universal Verification Methodology, sets you apart in this field.

You may also have a Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science, with a focus on computer architecture. Your experience with digital systems based on AMBA Bus protocols like ACE/AXI/AHB/APB or similar complexity bus protocols is a significant asset. You are skilled in simulation acceleration using transactors or vendor-provided accelerated verification IP, and you have a strong background in performance analysis and debugging techniques in a lab environment, particularly during ASIC bringup and test development.

Your ability to build emulation environments using industry-standard platforms such as Zebu, HAPS, Palladium, or Virtualizer is crucial. You are passionate about pushing boundaries and developing custom silicon solutions that power innovative products. You understand the importance of integrating C-testbench execution with SV/UVM agents and checkers, and you are adept at implementing advanced techniques to maximize simulation throughput, such as thread-based mechanisms or dynamic testbench splitting.

Desirable

You have a keen interest in developing and integrating transactors, hardware-compliant VIPs, and reusable infrastructure components that transition smoothly between simulation and emulation. Your collaborative spirit and innovative mindset make you a valuable addition to any team.
