Job summary

Siemens EDA is seeking an Emulation Applications Engineer to provide hands-on engineering expertise for implementing, integrating, testing, deploying, and supporting hardware-assisted verification and emulation solutions within advanced semiconductor environments.

The engineer collaborates with customer teams to understand ASIC/SoC designs, configure and test emulation workflows, troubleshoot issues, and enable successful deployment of Siemens EDA technology across customer environments.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• 4+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC design, verification, simulation, emulation, prototyping, or related engineering.
• Hands-on experience with hardware-assisted verification and emulation technologies such as Siemens Veloce, Cadence Palladium, or Synopsys ZeBu.
• Experience with RTL design and verification using SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL.
• Experience with C, C++, and/or SystemC in semiconductor design, verification, or system environments.
• Experience with verification methodologies and simulation environments such as UVM, Questa, VCS, or equivalent technologies.
• Experience developing engineering automation and integration solutions using Python, Perl, Tcl, shell scripting, or similar languages.
• Ability to diagnose complex problems spanning RTL, verification software, emulation systems, host infrastructure, and customer design environments.
• Experience integrating EDA tools into complex semiconductor development and verification workflows.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work directly with engineering teams on complex technical implementations.

Responsibilities

• Implement and integrate Siemens EDA emulation and hardware-assisted verification solutions into customer semiconductor design and verification environments.
• Configure, test, validate, and deploy Siemens Veloce emulation solutions for complex ASIC and SoC designs.
• Analyze customer RTL designs, verification environments, software interfaces, and design flows to determine technical implementation requirements.
• Perform hands-on testing and technical validation of integrated emulation environments to ensure solutions operate correctly and meet defined technical requirements.
• Troubleshoot complex hardware/software integration, compilation, runtime, verification, and system-level issues.
• Develop and maintain scripts, automation, configuration, and supporting software used to integrate and operate Siemens EDA/emulation solutions within customer environments.
• Work with SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL, C/C++, SystemC, scripting languages, and verification methodologies as required to integrate, test, and debug customer designs.
• Develop technical solutions and workflows that connect Siemens EDA technologies with customer design, verification, software, and infrastructure environments.
• Support customer engineering teams during technical evaluations and production deployment of emulation solutions.
• Reproduce, analyze, document, and resolve product and integration issues in collaboration with Siemens EDA engineering and product‑development organizations.
• Provide engineering feedback and technical requirements to Siemens EDA product‑development teams based on deployment and integration experience.
• Develop technical demonstrations, implementation examples, and training that enable engineering teams to effectively deploy and use Siemens EDA/emulation technologies.
• Collaborate with customer engineering, Siemens applications engineering, product engineering, R&D, and account teams to ensure successful technical implementation of the solution.
