**Please note this role is primarily open to candidates currently located in, and with working rights to Germany (preferably Munich, Berlin or Dresden).**
Welcome to Codasip
We believe is the most innovative processor solutions company. We take pride in designing and developing cutting-edge, high-performance, and energy-efficient CPU cores from scratch, and our own automated proprietary tools to fully customize them. We give our customers a unique competitive advantage by empowering their system-on-chip developers to build the most innovative products.
What you'll do
As an experienced CPU Emulation Engineer you be part of realizing a whole new paradigm in semiconductors and microprocessor design. The role will be within our organization, where we work on cutting-edge technologies and prepare them for rapid commercialization.
You will:
- Develop emulation support for Codasip's standard and customized embedded CPU cores as well as corresponding development platforms (including SoC environment and associated peripherals)
- Integrate emulation support for ratified, currently unratified, and custom RISC-V extensions on a needs basis
- Integrate emulation support for complex communication interfaces like PCIe or Ethernet
- Use and adapt the respective emulator's support for co-simulation (e.g. considering SystemC)
- Work with other internal teams to enhance Codasip Studio's EDA tool support for emulation
You will also have the opportunity to propose ideas for new software technologies and develop these to proof-of-concept and beyond. The role demands attention to detail, flexibility and lateral thinking. Work on both short-term customer-driven projects, as well as longer-term strategic Codasip software products.
What you need:
- Experience in virtual prototyping
- Solid development experience with regard to existing emulation environments, preferably targeting well-known frameworks such as QEMU, Renode or SystemC
- Solid understanding of state-of-the-art emulation concepts like dynamic binary translation, JIT compilation (e.g. QEMU's TCG) and interpretation (e.g. MPACT-Sim)
- Proficiency in the C or C++ programming language, and knowledge of at least one other object-oriented language (e.g. C#)
- Good knowledge of modern CPU architectures and micro-architectures
- The ability to communicate effectively
- A flexible and adaptable attitude to work
- A desire to learn and also positively influence technical direction
What you might have:
- Exposure to Instruction Accurate, Cycle Approximate and Cycle Accurate simulation techniques
- Experience with SystemVerilog
- Knowledge of RISC-V processors and ecosystem
- Experience with writing assembly language
- Exposure to different hardware architectures
- Simulation for architectural exploration (e.g. cache tuning, microarchitectural trade-off evaluation, etc.) using frameworks such as gem5
What's in it for you?
Join a flexible, open and supportive team full of curious, self-motivated and driven engineers who are keen to explore new ways of doing things, you'll get to work on ultra-modern, cutting-edge products and technology.
As a Codasipper, you will have the freedom to explore original solutions and experiment with new techniques in your role. We believe in cross-departmental awareness and encourage collaboration, allowing you to add value through diversity in your daily work.
So, come aboard and let's architect a future of innovation together! We can't wait to see what you'll achieve at Codasip.

What We Do
Codasip is a processor solutions company which helps developers to differentiate their products. We are Europe’s leading RISC-V company with a global presence. Billions of chips already use our technology.
In today’s technology market, differentiation is everything. The difference between success and failure. And, in chip design, this difference is quite literally wafer thin. With increasing transistor costs, your developers can no longer rely on semiconductor scaling and legacy processors to achieve your goals. The only way forward is to implement custom compute with designs tailored to your applications.
We deliver custom compute through the combination of the open RISC-V ISA, Codasip Studio processor design automation and high-quality processor IP. Our innovative approach lets you easily customize and differentiate your designs. You can develop high-performing, and game-changing products that are truly transformational.
