Role Overview

As a Software Virtual Platform Engineer, you will specialize in virtual platforms, including SystemC TLM and QEMU. Your primary focus will be on developing high-level system virtual models of complex SoC hardware.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop SystemC TLM models to accurately represent SoC architectures.
• Integrate components such as processors, interconnects, peripherals, and custom IP blocks into the SystemC simulator.
• Collaborate closely with hardware designers, software engineers, and other stakeholders to understand system requirements and translate them into detailed SystemC models.
• Use C++ programming to ensure efficient and effective model development.

Principal Duties and Responsibilities

• Leverage advanced software/hardware systems knowledge and experience to design, develop, create, and modify virtual models.
• Define software requirements to develop complex SoC TLM models.
• Design and implement TLM models for complex, large-scale products and systems.
• Lead design, coding, and testing efforts to ensure that projects are completed to specifications and schedules.
• Perform code reviews and regression tests, as well as triage and fix issues to ensure quality of code.
• Collaborate with individuals outside the software function (e.g., hardware, systems, and test engineers) to increase leverage and design solutions that work with other components of a specific project.

Level of Responsibility

• Work independently with minimal supervision.
• Make critical decisions that significantly impact program, product, or project success.
• Utilize strong verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information, often requiring negotiation, influence, and tact.
• Have a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions, being consulted by senior leadership for key decisions.
• Perform tasks that often require multiple steps, extensive planning, problem-solving, and prioritization to complete effectively.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field.

Preferred Qualifications

• Software/Firmware Engineering or related work experience.
• Experience developing Virtual Platforms or Simulators.

Key Skills

• SystemC TLM or QEMU.
• Modern C++.
• ARM Architecture (CPU, GIC, CoreSight Debug).
• Firmware and/or Device Driver Development and Debug.
• Open Source Development experience.
• Unit Testing, Continuous Integration.
• ARM Fast Models, Server Architecture (RAS, Manageability).
