Job description

We are seeking a skilled Hardware Emulation Engineer with hands‑on experience in Synopsys HAPS‑based prototyping and emulation platforms. The candidate will be responsible for building, debugging, and validating complex SoC and ASIC designs on FPGA‑based emulation environments to accelerate pre‑silicon verification and software validation.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, integrate, and maintain FPGA‑based emulation platforms (Synopsys HAPS, Palladium, or equivalent).
• Convert RTL designs into emulation‑ready models, including partitioning and synthesis for multi‑FPGA platforms.
• Perform design bring‑up, debug, and hardware/software co‑validation using JTAG, logic analyzers, and waveform viewers.
• Collaborate with design, verification, and firmware teams to enable early software execution and system performance analysis.
• Support automation of build flows, configuration management, and regression testing for emulation platforms.
• Analyze timing, resource utilization, and performance metrics to optimize emulation efficiency.
• Document flows, best practices, and debug methodologies for team knowledge sharing.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of experience in FPGA prototyping or hardware emulation of complex SoCs/ASICs.
• Hands‑on experience with Synopsys HAPS platforms (HAPS‑80/100 series preferred).
• Strong proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog, FPGA synthesis, and place‑and‑route tools (Synplify Pro, Vivado, or Quartus).
• Familiarity with UVM verification, hardware/software co‑simulation, and embedded firmware bring‑up.
• Proficient in debug tools (Identify, Verdi, DVE, or similar).
• Scripting knowledge: Tcl, Python, Shell for automation.
• Good understanding of SoC architectures, AXI/AHB/PCIe interfaces, and clock/reset domains.
