• Experience in emulation model building, design partitioning, compilation, and integration for full-chip emulation.
• Proficiency in RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog) and synthesis for emulation platforms (Cadence Palladium, ZeBu, Veloce).
• Experience in testbench integration using UVM/OVM and transactor-based environments.
• Exposure to SoC architecture, AMBA protocols (AXI/AHB/APB), memory interfaces, and clock/reset management in emulation.
• Expertise in debugging emulation failures, waveform analysis, and emulator bring-up.
• Automation scripting using Perl, Python, or Shell for model-building and regression automation.
• Familiarity with firmware-based validation, emulator performance analysis, and SoC boot flow testing.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Build and configure emulation models for complex SoC designs including model partitioning, compilation, and integration.
• Develop and maintain automation scripts for model build, configuration management, and regression flow.
• Perform RTL synthesis and emulation environment bring-up, ensuring design correctness and stability.
• Collaborate with RTL design and verification teams to define emulation test cases and transactor connections.
• Support pre-silicon validation using emulation-based infrastructure and firmware-driven tests.
• Debug hardware/software interaction issues using emulation tools and waveform analysis.
• Manage emulator resources, job scheduling, and performance optimization.
• Document emulation flows, methodologies, and maintain release processes for emulation builds.
