SoC Emulation Firmware Engineer

Job Description

Be at the forefront of innovation and help shape the future of technology! As a SoC Emulation Firmware Engineer, you will play a critical role in developing cutting-edge firmware for System-on-Chip (SoC) emulation platforms, empowering our teams to create high-performance, pre-silicon prototypes and driving the development of next-generation SoC products that will revolutionize the way we live and work.

Main responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Conducting functional logic verification of an integrated SoC to ensure design meets specifications.
• Developing and refining scalable and reusable block, subsystem, and SoC verification plans, test benches, and verification environments to meet the required level of coverage and conform to microarchitecture specifications.
• Executing verification plans, running emulation and system simulation models, and analyzing power and performance to verify the design and uncover bugs.
• Replicating, root causing, and debugging issues in the presilicon environment.
• Identifying and implementing corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
• Collaborating and communicating with SoC architects, microarchitects, full chip architects, RTL developers, postsilicon, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features.
• Documenting test plans, driving technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams, and incorporating security activities within test plans.
• Maintaining and improving existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology, absorbing learning from postsilicon, and updating test plans for missing coverages to proliferate to future products.

A strong candidate will demonstrate the following skills:

• Effective communication
• Digital logic and SoC architecture
• Verification methodologies and tools
