Emulation Engineer

Contract Job Description: Experienced Emulation Engineers with strong expertise in ZeBu-based hardware emulation to support SoC/IP verification and validation activities.

Key Responsibilities: Develop and maintain emulation environments using ZeBu platforms Port RTL/UVM testbenches from simulation to emulation Debug SoC/IP level issues in emulation and provide root-cause analysis Optimize performance and compile time for large SoC designs Integrate transactors, BFMs, and acceleration models Work closely with DV, RTL, and software teams for bring-up and validation Develop/employ hybrid verification (simulation + emulation) flows Support pre-silicon software validation and boot flows Create scripts for build, run, and regression automation Required Skills: 8+ years in SoC/IP verification with emulation experience Strong hands-on experience with ZeBu emulation platforms Good knowledge of System Verilog and UVM Experience in simulation-to-emulation bring-up Familiarity with SCE-MI / transactor-based acceleration Strong debugging skills across RTL, testbench, and firmware Knowledge of AXI/APB/AHB or similar standard protocols Experience with Linux bring-up on emulation is a plus Preferred Qualifications: Experience in full-chip emulation environments Exposure to performance tuning and capacity planning Scripting knowledge (Python/Shell/Perl) Experience with FPGA prototyping is an added advantage Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving and debugging mindset Good communication and cross-team collaboration Ability to work in fast-paced project schedules
