## Description

Define, design, and develop emulation environments for complex, large-scale networking ASICs.

You will develop state-of-the-art emulation environments to evaluate the performance and functionality of multi-terabit systems.

Key responsibilities:

- Develop emulation infrastructure using C/C++, TCL, Python, etc.

- Develop and test various emulation flows and contribute to different aspects of ASIC verification for bug-free Silicon.

- Collaborate closely with the design team and the hardware team to verify the ASIC in emulation and during ASIC bring-up.

- Work closely with the design, DV, power, and post-silicon diagnostic teams.

- Assist with test plan design, test implementation, and debugging during the pre-silicon emulation process.

- Develop tests to generate complex traffic, performance scenarios to catch potential post-Silicon issues during the Pre-Silicon phase.

Minimum qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree + 8 years of related experience, or Master's degree + 6 years of related experience.

- Design Emulation background with hands-on experience with emulation platforms like Veloce/Palladium/Zebu.

- Fluent in System Verilog or Verilog to work on the Emulation infrastructure development work.

- In-depth knowledge of C/C++, scripting, as well as ASIC design and verification flow.

- Expertise in RTL development for Emulation prototypes.

- System debug experience using tools like gdb, waveform debuggers.

Preferred qualifications:

- Strong hands-on experience with scripting programs (e.g., Python, Perl or similar).

- Strong communication skills and ability to work as a team.

- Post Silicon functional validation or debugging experience is a plus.

- Knowledge of protocols like PCIe, I2C, Ethernet.

- Good interpersonal skills, and validated leadership to accurately describe issues/improvements and lead team for on-time completion.

- Excellent communication skills both verbal and written.
