Senior Emulation Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Emulation Engineer to lead our emulation efforts across complex SoC and chiplet-based designs. You will be responsible for building scalable emulation infrastructure, driving methodology, and supporting cross-functional validation teams. This is a leadership role with high technical visibility and impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver emulation and prototyping models from RTL using industry-standard platforms (Siemens Veloce, Cadence Palladium)
• Develop emulation testbenches in SystemVerilog and/or C/C++
• Build emulation test plans, and execute, to ensure model accuracy and readiness for pre-silicon validation
• Drive emulation methodologies for hardware verification and software development
• Develop tools, workflows, and infrastructure for enhanced debug, runtime efficiency, and data analysis from emulation runs
• Bring up and debug key interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, and generic SoC buses
• Create emulation validation components to support automation and regression efficiency
• Collaborate closely with RTL, DV, validation, and SW teams to streamline debug and execution
• Partner with vendors to resolve issues and evaluate new capabilities in emulation technology

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• 7+ years of experience in emulation environments using Veloce, Palladium, or similar tools
• Strong experience with SystemVerilog, C++, and scripting (Python, Tcl)
• Proven knowledge of emulation technologies including simulation acceleration, in-circuit emulation, and hybrid models
• Solid understanding of SoC design flow and build/compilation pipelines
• Familiarity with transactor development and modeling of interfaces

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated success in SoC programs where emulation played a key validation role
• Experience architecting scalable emulation systems for IP, SoC, or chiplet-level validation
• Experience reproducing post-silicon issues on emulators
• Exposure to multi-die (chiplet) integration and validation strategies
• Ability to work across design releases and debug issues with cross-functional teams
• Experience with Protium, Zebu, or similar platforms is a plus

Why Join Us

• Take a leadership role in shaping our emulation strategy
• Work with advanced SoC and chiplet technologies
• Enjoy autonomy, ownership, and room to innovate
• Be part of a growing, technically strong team
• Competitive salary and flexible working model
