## Description

You are a driven and insightful Emulation Expert, passionate about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in ASIC digital design. With a deep understanding of IP interfaces--especially PCIe and DDR--you are skilled in leveraging advanced emulation platforms like Zebu to accelerate verification and product development. Your career is marked by a proven ability to deliver robust, production-ready IP through rigorous emulation and verification cycles. You thrive in highly collaborative, matrixed, and international environments, bringing together diverse teams and perspectives to solve complex challenges.

## What you'll do

- Bridging and closing gaps between the available or required Emulation IP feature set and the Design IP verification for all functions, spanning both Controller and PHY domains.

- Reporting key metrics and driving continuous improvement initiatives in Emulation IP quality and performance.

- Providing technical leadership and expertise to define requirements for Emulation IP, ensuring its correct implementation and deployment within verification strategies.

- Staying ahead of evolving industry standards, interpreting future changes, ECNs, and specification errata, and integrating this knowledge into Emulation and Design IP teams.

- Reviewing and validating test plans for both Emulation IP and Design IP, guaranteeing best-in-class function, feature coverage, and product quality.

- Collaborating cross-functionally to optimize workflows, standardize methodologies, and ensure compliance with organizational goals.

- Mentoring and guiding junior engineers, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.

## What you need

- 8+ years of relevant experience in emulation, verification, or IP product development.

- Expert-level knowledge of PCIe or DDR interfaces, including protocol and verification strategies.

- Extensive hands-on experience with Zebu or similar emulation platforms, particularly for IP verification.

- Demonstrated track record in leading IP product development initiatives with a focus on emulation.

- Strong background in cross-functional collaboration, with an ability to drive consensus and deliver results.

- Outstanding communication skills, with the ability to influence and inspire change across diverse teams.

- Adaptability and comfort working in a fast-paced, matrixed, and international environment.
