- Enable hardware/software co-verification and co-emulation

- Support firmware, driver, and OS-level bring-up on emulation systems

- Debug complex system-level issues across hardware and software layers

- Work closely with RTL, Verification, and Software teams

- Optimize emulation performance and regression execution

- Develop and maintain test environments for emulation platforms

Technical Skills Required :

- Strong programming skills in C / C++

- Good understanding of SystemC modeling

- Experience with HDLHVL co-emulation environments

- Knowledge of SoC architecture and system-level debugging

- Hands-on experience in pre-silicon validation

Protocol Exposure :

- I2C

- SPI

- USB

- PCIe

Debug Skills :

- Experience with JTAG-based debugging

- Knowledge of TRACE32 debugging tool

- Ability to debug hardware-software interaction issues

Tools / Platforms :

- ZeBu (Synopsys)

- Veloce (Siemens EDA)

- Palladium (Cadence) (Preferred)

Additional Skills :

- Understanding of FPGA-based prototyping (good to have)

- Experience in system-level debugging and performance tuning

- Exposure to OS/firmware bring-up (Linux/RTOS preferred)

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Collaboration :

- Work closely with RTL designers for design bring-up

- Coordinate with verification teams for debug and issue reproduction

- Support software/firmware teams for system-level testing

- Interface with hardware platform and infrastructure teams

Role Summary :

Emulation Engineer responsible for pre-silicon validation, hardware/software co-emulation, and system-level debugging using advanced emulation platforms like ZeBu, Veloce, and Palladium to ensure early and robust SoC validation.
