Your Team, Your Impact

Custom Compute and Storage (CCS) Business Unit closely collaborates with strategic customers in the development of advanced and highly complex SoCs, from architecture and design all the way through layout, packaging, prototype validation and production ramp up. The Emulation Center of Excellence (CoE) team is key part of this group, with global ownership and responsibility for delivering emulation infrastructure, validating the design on emulation and drive left shift of SW and post-silicon readiness for all of CCS products.
As part of the Emulation CoE leadership, you will drive the emulation strategy, vendor platform enablement, testplan execution for a high quality design tape-out

What You Can Expect

• Lead a strong technical team of emulation experts to define emulation strategy and platform requirements, develop emulation testplan, and drive execution of the emulation verification for large CCS products on emulation platform such as Veloce, Zebu and Palladium.
• Work with various stakeholders to define the emulation HW requirements for CCS products, including platforms, hardware/software collaterals, transactors, speed-bridges etc.
• Work closely with emulation hardware vendor application engineers (AEs) to keep the emulation hardware, software ecosystem updated, drive debug and resolution of issues with the vendor and design team.
• Define and develop new capabilities HW/SW tools to enable acceleration of RTL and improve emulation/FPGA model usability for pre-Silicon and post-Silicon functional validation as well as SW development/validation
• Interface with and provide guidance to pre-silicon Validation teams for optimizing pre-Si validation environments, test suites and methodologies for emulation efficiency
• Develop and apply automation aids, flows and scripts in support of emulation ease of use and improvement of equipment utilization.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields and 15+ years of related professional experience or Master’s degree and/or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields with 10+ years of experience.
