Job Description: Emulation Model Build Engineer - GPU
Location: Hyderabad
We are looking for a seasoned Emulation Model Build Engineer with strong experience in GPU/graphics SoC environments to drive emulation model development on Synopsys ZeBu platforms. This role involves enabling full-chip GPU emulation for pre-silicon validation, performance validation, and software bring-up, with emphasis on large-scale design partitioning, memory-heavy workloads, and high-throughput execution. Exposure to Veloce and/or Palladium is an added advantage.
Key Responsibilities:
- Build, compile, and deploy GPU SoC emulation models on Zebu platforms
- Perform design partitioning and mapping for large GPU subsystems including shader cores, compute units, memory controllers, and interconnect fabrics
- Optimize emulation for high bandwidth and concurrency-heavy workloads
- Debug issues across RTL, compile/elaboration phases, and runtime failures
- Enable GPU software stack bring-up including firmware, drivers, and kernel integration
- Support graphics and compute workloads (OpenGL, Vulkan, etc.)
- Collaborate with architecture, RTL, DV, and software teams
- Drive performance tuning and runtime stability
- Develop automation for build and regression flows
Required Qualifications:




- Bachelor's/Master's in Electronics / Computer Engineering
- 6-9 years of experience in SoC emulation or verification
- Strong experience with Synopsys ZeBu and SystemVerilog/Verilog
- Understanding of GPU architecture (parallel pipelines, scheduling, caches, memory bandwidth)
- Experience in model build, debug flows, and synthesis constraints
Preferred Skills:
- Experience in GPU subsystems like graphics pipelines or AI accelerators
- Exposure to Veloce and/or Palladium
- Knowledge of graphics APIs like Vulkan or OpenGL
- Linux/firmware bring-up experience
- Familiarity with memory subsystem debugging and performance bottlenecks
- Scripting in Python, Tcl, Shell, or Perl
Soft Skills:
- Strong debugging mindset
- Ability to handle complex GPU designs
- Positive collaboration skills
- Ownership and proactive attitude
Key Deliverables:
- Stable and high-performance GPU emulation models
- Reduced compile/runtime turnaround time
- Efficient debug of GPU workloads
- Automated and scalable workflows
Comments for Suppliers: Looking for an emulation engineer well versed in zebu flows, with some exposure to initial debug triage on test failures.
