Google Cloud Platform DevOps Engineer - Remote / Telecommute

Responsibilities and Duties:

• Develop and maintain SystemC models for processors, memory controllers, and peripherals.
• Implement TLM-based interfaces for communication between SystemC models and simulation environments.
• Validate model accuracy by comparing with RTL simulations and hardware prototypes.
• Collaborate with architecture and design teams to define modeling requirements.
• Contribute to modeling guidelines and best practices.
• Maintain documentation for SystemC models including usage examples and validation reports.
• Debug and resolve simulation issues, improving model stability and reducing simulation time.
• Participate in code reviews and provide feedback to peers.
• Define transaction-level models of non-memory-mapped interfaces (I2C, SPI, USB, CAN, Ethernet).
• Port embedded operating systems (Linux, VxWorks, Android) onto virtual prototypes and develop device drivers.
• Verify models at IP & SoC level.
• Develop regressable, self-checking test suites using C/ARM assembly.
• Build System Level Flows and Methodologies using virtual prototypes.

Requirement/Must Have:

• 5+ years of experience in SystemC modeling and simulation.
• Strong understanding of computer architecture and hardware/software co-design.
• Proven experience with SystemC and TLM development and debugging.
• Excellent C++ programming skills with object-oriented design expertise.
• Familiarity with HDLs such as VHDL or Verilog.
• Experience with simulation tools like Cadence Incisive, Synopsys VCS, or Mentor Graphics QuestaSim.
• Skilled in debugging tools (e.g., GDB, DVE).
• Proficiency in scripting (Python, Perl, or similar).
• Use of Git for version control.
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.

Should Have:

• Understanding of embedded system architecture, processor architectures, memory hierarchies, and bus protocols.
• Experience defining transaction-level models of complex interfaces.
• Background in OS porting and driver development on virtual platforms.
• Experience in model verification at IP and SoC levels.
• Ability to develop System Level Flows using virtual prototypes.

Desired Skills:

• Experience in board bring-up and board support package (BSP) development.
• Familiarity with peripherals: PCIe, I2C, SPI, USB, UART.
• Understanding of OS primitives, memory management, scheduling, interrupts, multithreading.
• Firmware or embedded software development in a multicore or hardware context.
• System-level debugging experience.

Qualification or Education:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (Master's preferred).
