SystemC Programmer/Developer

Job Title : SystemC Programmer / SystemC Developer

Location : Noida (Onsite)

Experience : 4 to 8+ Years

Employment Type : Full-Time

Job Overview :

We are looking for a highly skilled SystemC Programmer with 48+ years of experience to join our semiconductor engineering team supporting Renesas Electronics. The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, validating, and optimizing SystemC/TLM-based system-level models for complex SoC and embedded platforms.

This role involves close collaboration with architecture, RTL, and software teams to enable early architecture exploration, virtual prototyping, performance analysis, and hardware-software co-design. The candidate should have strong expertise in SystemC, C/C++, embedded systems, simulation environments, and transaction-level modeling, with exposure to semiconductor or SoC development environments.

Key Responsibilities :

- Design, develop, and maintain SystemC/TLM models for system-level simulation and architectural exploration.

- Build accurate and reusable transaction-level models (TLM) to represent SoC components, subsystems, and communication interfaces.

- Collaborate with system architects, RTL designers, and software teams to define and model system behavior.

- Support virtual platform development for early software bring-up and validation.

- Perform performance modeling, profiling, analysis, and optimization of system-level models.

- Integrate SystemC models with simulation frameworks, virtual prototypes, and co-simulation environments.

- Validate models against architecture specifications, functional requirements, and RTL implementations.

- Debug and troubleshoot simulation/modeling issues and improve model fidelity and performance.

- Contribute to hardware-software co-verification and early-stage software development using virtual platforms.

- Develop and enhance models for interconnects, memory subsystems, peripherals, and protocol behavior.

- Participate in architecture reviews, design discussions, and technical problem solving.

- Support verification and test teams in model validation and regression activities.

- Create technical documentation for model architecture, interfaces, and validation results.

Required Skills & Qualifications :

- Bachelors or Masters degree in Electronics, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, or related field.

- 48+ years of hands-on experience in SystemC development and system-level modeling.

- Strong programming expertise in C and C++.

- Hands-on experience with SystemC and TLM (Transaction-Level Modeling).

- Strong understanding of computer architecture, SoC design, and embedded systems.

- Experience with simulation tools, debugging techniques, and model validation.

- Knowledge of hardware-software co-design methodologies.

- Experience working with system-level simulation and virtual prototype environments.

- Good understanding of modeling abstractions, timing concepts, and performance analysis.

- Familiarity with scripting using Python or Shell for automation is a plus.

Preferred Skills :

- Experience in semiconductor or SoC development environments.

- Exposure to virtual platforms and architectural simulators.

- Hands-on experience with hardware/software co-verification.

- Knowledge of standard interconnect protocols such as :

a. AXI

b. AMBA

c. AHB/APB

d. Cache and memory subsystem protocols

- Familiarity with RTL concepts and interaction between SystemC models and RTL simulations.

- Exposure to processor modeling, performance simulators, or virtual validation platforms is a plus.

- Experience with multi-core or heterogeneous system modeling is desirable.

Nice to Have :

- Experience with emulation/prototyping environments.

- Knowledge of ARM-based architectures and SoC subsystems.

- Exposure to UVM/verification concepts is an advantage.

- Familiarity with compiler/toolchain behavior for embedded software bring-up.

- Experience in low-power or performance optimization analysis is a plus.
