JobType: full-time

We are looking for a highly skilled Emulation Engineer with 6–16 years of experience in pre-silicon validation, hardware emulation, and verification of complex semiconductor designs. The ideal candidate will have solid hands-on expertise with Zebu and Palladium emulation platforms and a solid understanding of pre-silicon validation methodologies. You will work closely with design, verification, architecture, and software teams to validate hardware functionality before silicon tape-out and identify potential issues early in the development lifecycle.

Requirements
Key Responsibilities
- Drive pre-silicon validation and hardware emulation activities for complex SoC, processor, subsystem, or IP designs.
- Develop and execute emulation-based validation strategies to verify functionality, performance, and system-level behavior before silicon availability.
- Set up, configure, and debug designs on Zebu and Palladium emulation platforms.




- Develop and maintain emulation environments, test infrastructure, validation flows, and automation frameworks.
- Port and execute simulation and verification test cases on emulation platforms and analyze failures.
- Debug hardware, firmware, and software interactions using emulation systems and identify root causes of functional issues.
- Collaborate with RTL design, verification, architecture, firmware, and post-silicon validation teams to resolve complex issues.
- Support early software and firmware bring-up using emulation platforms before first silicon.
- Analyze emulation results, logs, waveforms, traces, and system behavior to identify design defects.
- Optimize emulation environments for improved compile, build, runtime, and debug efficiency.
- Develop reusable scripts and automation utilities to streamline validation and regression processes.
- Contribute to validation planning, test coverage analysi
