Emulation Engineer

 Senior Technical Staff Engineer – Emulation 

Job Description:

Experience:- 7+Years

Location:- Bangalore

Role Overview

The chosen candidate will be part of the FPGA Solutions Engineering team, working closely with internal engineering teams and external customers to architect, validate, and deliver next-generation IP cores and system-level platforms. This role bridges the gap between hardware architecture, advanced emulation methodologies, and firmware co-design to enable early silicon-equivalent bring-up and accelerate time-to-market.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities

• Architect Veloce RTL models and UVM-acceleration for EdgeAI, PCIe, Ethernet, DDRC, etc.
• Build CAD execution flows, develop high-fidelity emulation models, Veloce XACTORs, and system-level use cases to drive deep performance and architectural validation on emulation platforms.
• Engineer shift-left, end-to-end solution development by integrating hard and soft IP RTL with bare-metal firmware on emulation systems.
• Develop system bring-up frameworks, debug complex RTL/firmware issues, and accelerate time-to-market through comprehensive hardware-software co-validation.
• Provide technical feedback to Silicon Engineering, Software Engineering, and Marketing to enhance future product roadmaps. Provide expert pre- and post-sales design support to customers and sales forces.

 

Requirements/Qualifications:

 

Educational & Experience Requirements

• Education: BSEE / MSEE or equivalent technical degree.
• Experience: A minimum of 7 + years of progressive experience in hardware emulation, RTL design, FPGA methodologies, or HW/SW co-verification.

Technical Expertise

• Strong proficiency with Veloce platforms, VirtuaLAB environments, UVM-acceleration, and SystemC-DPI testing methodologies.
• Proficient in Verilog, System Verilog, C/C++, RTL synthesis concepts.
• Deep understanding of high-speed IPs including PCIe, Ethernet, DDR3/4/5/, AMBA AHB/APB, SERDES, and USB.
• Strong foundation in DSP theory/processor architectures and embedded processors (e.g., ARM Cortex platforms) is highly desirable.
• Working knowledge of leading FPGA architectures (e.g., Microsemi, Xilinx, Altera, Lattice) and debugging physical boards.

Professional Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a proven ability to debug complex, full-stack hardware-software issues and drive them to closure.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for authoring documentation, training modules, and presenting to executive customers.
