Job description

We're looking for a Senior Emulation Engineer to drive emulation for a multi-core compute subsystem, end to end - from building and bringing up the emulation environment for the Compute Tile, to using it to fully verify coherency and functional correctness at scale. This is a hands on, individual-contributor role for someone who has worked on emulation of compute products and is equally comfortable setting up infrastructure (testbenches, transactors, sanity regressions) and driving deep coherency debug to closure. You'll play a critical role in validating our next‑generation multi‑core silicon before it reaches the lab.

Key Responsibilities

• Setup the Emulation Build for the Compute Tile.
• Testbench modifications for emulation setup.
• Development of transactors for proprietary protocols.
• Sanity regression for emulation.

Verification using Emulation

• Set up industry standard test suites for coherency in the compute tile emulation setup .
• Debug the coherency test suite to achieve 100% results.
• Meet code and functional coverage targets on emulation.

Requirements

Must-Have

• University degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering
• 10+ years of experience in verification.
• 4+ years in emulation setup and debug of SoC or large subsystems
• Experience in C based or assembly test debug for multicore systems.
• Coherency concepts

Highly Desirable

• Prior experience in CPU/GPU/NoC verification and emulation setup.

Why Semidynamics?

• Work at one of Europe's most promising deep-tech semiconductor scale-ups.
• Accelerated development path.
• 4 days per week in the Barcelona office (city center), 1 WFH.
• 1 week of work from everywhere in the world.
• Competitive package.
• A collaborative, technical, and growth-oriented environment that values direct ownership and clear thinking.
