Job Type: Full-time

We are seeking a highly skilled Emulation Engineer with expertise in SoC emulation model development, transactor integration, and emulation platform bring-up. This role is ideal for professionals who are passionate about enabling early hardware validation and accelerating verification for complex semiconductor products.

As an Emulation Engineer, you will be responsible for developing and deploying large-scale SoC emulation environments, defining emulation strategies, and driving verification activities across industry-leading emulation platforms. You will collaborate closely with design, verification, architecture, and system teams to ensure robust emulation models, efficient debug, and successful product validation.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain complex SoC emulation models for large-scale semiconductor designs.
• Perform transactor integration, model bring-up, and platform enablement for emulation environments.
• Define emulation strategies, platform requirements, and verification plans for complex SoCs.
• Execute emulation verification activities using industry-leading platforms such as Veloce, ZeBu, and Palladium.
• Collaborate with design, verification, and architecture teams to support hardware validation and debugging.
• Optimize emulation performance, model compilation, and runtime efficiency.
• Debug emulation issues and perform root cause analysis to ensure successful verification and validation.
• Develop automation scripts using Python, Perl, Tcl, or UNIX Shell to improve workflow efficiency.
• Support the integration and validation of processor subsystems, interconnects, memory interfaces, and high-speed I/O protocols.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of emulation methodologies, infrastructure, and best practices.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 4+ years of experience in SoC Emulation, hardware verification, or emulation platform development.
• Strong hands-on expertise in emulation model development, transactor integration, and model bring-up.
• Extensive experience with industry-standard emulation platforms such as Synopsys ZeBu, Cadence Palladium, and Siemens Veloce.
• Solid understanding of processor architectures, SoC components, interconnect buses, and system-level design concepts.
• Experience with high-speed interfaces and protocols such as PCIe, CXL, Ethernet, DDR, and HBM.
• Proficiency in scripting languages including Python, Perl, Tcl, and UNIX Shell for automation and workflow optimization.
• Strong debugging, problem-solving, and analytical skills in complex hardware verification environments.
• Ability to define emulation strategies, create verification plans, and drive execution independently.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills with cross-functional engineering teams.
• A proactive mindset with a passion for delivering high-quality emulation solutions for next-generation semiconductor products.
