Summary
Prototyping and Emulation Engineer
Introduction:
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated FPGA Prototyping and Emulation Engineer to join our hardware development team. This role is critical to accelerating silicon validation and system-level debug through advanced prototyping and emulation platforms. You will work closely with architecture, design, and verification teams to enable early software development and system bring-up.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain FPGA-based prototypes using Xilinx FPGAs and Synopsys HAPS platforms.
- Perform FPGA synthesis, partitioning, and timing closure for complex SoC designs.
- Drive bring-up and debug of SoC prototypes, including waveform capture and analysis.
- Interface with custom PCBs and semiconductor components for system-level validation.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support pre-silicon and post-silicon debug.
- Integrate and support emulation platforms including Synopsys ZeBu, Cadence Palladium/Protium, and Mentor Veloce.
- Use AI-based modeling to generate behavioral models of removed modules.
- Maintain and monitor quality model development, deployment, and automated regression testing infrastructure.
- Develop and maintain model "smoke tests" to ensure model functionality prior to delivery to bring-up teams.
- Drive technical innovation across validation, including tool and script development, methodology enhancement, and cross-functional initiatives.
- Debug issues across bring-up, validation, and production phases of SoC programs.
- Track test execution and ensure timely validation and optimization of all features.
- Engage with other software/hardware modeling frameworks and support teams.
- Lead collaborative efforts across multiple engineering teams.
Requirements:
Required Qualifications:
- Strong hands-on experience with Xilinx FPGA architecture and toolchains.
- Expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog design and simulation.
- Proficiency with FPGA synthesis and partitioning tools (e.g., Synplify, Vivado).
- Experience with Synopsys HAPS prototyping platforms.
- Solid understanding of SoC bring-up, debug methodologies, and waveform analysis.
- Familiarity with PCB bring-up and hardware/software interfacing.
- Proficiency with C/C++, low-level boot code, and firmware development.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with emulation platforms such as Synopsys ZeBu, Cadence Palladium/Protium, or Mentor Veloce.
- Understanding of BIOS for system, x86, and ARM cores.
- Knowledge of scripting languages (Python, Tcl, Perl, Ruby) for automation and tool integration.
- Background in semiconductor validation and hardware/software co-debug.
- Prior development of large SoC models (1B gates+).
- Strong debug techniques and methodologies.
- Extensive experience with lab equipment (protocol/logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, etc.).
- Deep experience with board/platform-level debug, delivery, sequencing, and optimization.
- Strong knowledge of system architecture and validation strategy.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
- Self-starter with the ability to independently drive tasks to completion.
Academic Credentials:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
