Job Description

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior/Lead Emulation and Prototyping Engineer to drive emulation strategies for complex IP, SoC, and system-level projects. This role focuses on pre-silicon validation, hardware-software integration, and early firmware and software development using industry-standard emulation and prototyping platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead emulation and prototyping strategies for IP and SoC projects.

• Work with chip architects and verification teams to define requirements and integrate emulation into validation workflows.

• Map RTL designs onto platforms such as Cadence Palladium, Synopsys ZeBu, and Mentor Veloce.

• Develop emulation models, transactors, and hybrid simulation environments.

• Lead platform bring-up, debugging, and performance optimisation.

• Develop automation scripts, test environments, and reusable infrastructure.

• Support firmware and software teams with pre-silicon development and debugging.

• Maintain technical documentation and mentor junior engineers.

Key Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

• At least 7 years of experience in IP/SoC emulation, FPGA prototyping, system validation, or hardware acceleration.

• Strong expertise in commercial emulation and prototyping platforms, such as Cadence Palladium, Synopsys ZeBu, or Mentor Veloce.

• Good understanding of RTL design, simulation, and verification flows, including Verilog, SystemVerilog, and UVM.

• Experience developing transactors and integrating IP blocks into emulated systems.

• Proficiency in Python, Perl, Tcl, or shell scripting for automation.

• Strong debugging, analytical, and cross-functional collaboration skills, including hardware-software interaction debugging.
