Senior Silicon Emulation Engineer

What you'll do

• Integrate large-scale RTL and enable firmware, driver, runtime, and ML-stack bring-up on emulated hardware.
• Run and analyze AI inference workloads, debug issues across hardware and software, and support post-silicon correlation when applicable.
• Automate emulation builds, regressions, and workload execution; document flows and debug procedures.

What they ask for

• Bachelor’s, Master's, or Doctorate degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Strong understanding of SoC architectures and AI accelerator design concepts.
• Experience with RTL simulation and emulation (Verilog/SystemVerilog) and familiarity with hardware emulation platforms.
• Linux-based environment experience, proficiency in Python, Tcl, or Bash, and strong cross-layer debugging skills.

Nice to have

• Experience with NPU, DSP, or GPU-class accelerators, or ML inference workloads on pre-silicon platforms.
• Knowledge of AI software stacks, DMA and memory systems, AXI/AMBA and cache coherency, FPGA prototyping, or performance modeling.
