Job summary

Micron Technology, Inc. in the United States is seeking a Hardware Emulation Architect to design, enable and deploy emulation for next-gen HBM products.

You will work across design, verification, firmware and system teams to meet emulation needs and drive AI-enabled workflows within the team. The role emphasizes developing emulation ecosystems, procuring hardware platforms, and building testbenches and models to support pre-silicon validation and rapid debugging.

Qualifications

• Minimum 15+ years of engineering or design engineering experience.
• Strong RTL design and debugging experience.
• Hands-on emulation platform development for complex GPU/CPU and memory systems.
• Experience emulating memory subsystems, including HBM.
• Solid understanding of SoC architecture, interconnects, and IP integration.
• Experience debugging full-chip or subsystem level designs.
• Familiarity with firmware or low-level software interaction with hardware.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain hardware emulation environments for complex SoCs and subsystems.
• Compile, configure, and debug large-scale RTL designs on emulation platforms (e.g., Palladium, Veloce, Zebu).
• Support pre-silicon validation, firmware bring-up, and early software development using emulation.
• Debug functional, performance, and connectivity issues across RTL, firmware, and system layers.
• Work closely with design, verification, firmware, and architecture teams to enable rapid debug and issue resolution.
• Create emulation testbenches, transactors, and models for system-level use cases.
• Enable hybrid validation flows (simulation + emulation + FPGA prototyping as needed).
• Provide hands‑on support during key project achievements (tapeout, bring-up, customer enablement).
