At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop system-level AVIP solutions for emulation/prototyping platforms (Palladium, Protium)
• Build and integrate Accelerated Verification IP environments for complex SoC and subsystem validation
• Develop end-to-end verification flows including:
  • AVIP integration
  • Testbench and system modeling
  • Bare-metal / driver-level validation
• Architect scalable solutions for multi-protocol system validation across multiple clock domains
• Optimize solutions for performance, scalability, and emulation efficiency
• Develop custom test cases, tools, and automation to enable advanced use models (embedded / co-emulation / hybrid flows)
• Work closely with cross-functional teams (PE, AE, customers) to debug and resolve system-level issues
• Contribute to next-generation AVIP methodology evolution, including integration with AI/ML-based verification flows
• Support customer enablement, including bring-up, debug, and solution deployment

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 5-10 years’ experience
• Strong expertise in high-speed protocols such as:
  • PCIe, CXL, AMBA, UCIe, Ethernet (at least one)
• Strong RTL design experience (SystemVerilog / Verilog)
• Strong C/C++ development experience for modeling, testbench, or system integration
• Solid understanding of:
  • System-level verification methodologies
  • Emulation / acceleration flows
• Hands-on experience with Palladium / Protium / FPGA / emulation platforms is strongly preferred
• Good debugging skills for complex system integration issues

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing or using AVIP (Accelerated VIP) solutions
• Experience with end-to-end system validation flows (simulation → emulation → prototyping)
• Knowledge of UVM and verification frameworks
• Knowledge of Qemu/Gem5 or other system emulation projects
• Experience with multi-language environments (SV + C/C++ + Python)
• Familiarity with Emulation/Prototyping flows
• Exposure to AI/ML techniques applied to verification or tooling
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently

Soft Skills

• Excellent English communication skills (both verbal and written) are required
• Strong learning capability and adaptability to new technologies
• Ability to collaborate across global teams
• Proactive mindset in problem solving and customer engagement
