We are looking for a Principal Emulation Engineer with hands-on experience verifying protocols on complex ASICs and experience with or interest in emulation.  The ideal candidate would be at ease creating environments to enable verification teams to stress test ASICs, as well as debugging design, environment, transactor, and code issues.  The candidate must have good knowledge of communication protocols such as PCI-Express (Gen-3 and above), DDR, Ethernet, NVMe, or similar interfaces.

Basic qualifications:

• Strong academic and technical background in computer/electrical engineering. At a minimum, a Bachelor’s in EE or Computer Science is required, and a Master’s is preferred.
• ≥8 years’ experience supporting or developing complex SoC/silicon products for Server, Storage or Networking applications.
• Experience working with logic designers to architect, specify, and verify hardware-software interfaces on complex SoCs.
• Professional attitude with the ability to prioritize a dynamic list of multiple tasks and to work with minimal guidance and supervision.
• Entrepreneurial, open-mind behavior and can-do attitude. Think and act fast with the customer in mind!
• Authorized to work in the US and start immediately.

Required experience:

• Working knowledge of PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, SPI, I2C/I3C or similar protocols.
• High level of proficiency in System Verilog and verification environments.
• Experience understanding software and hardware co-simulation limitations and debug methods.
• Experience in programming and scripting languages (like perl/python/C).
• Currently based locally or open to relocation.

Preferred experience:

• Experience in emulation and prototyping technologies like Palladium/Zebu/Veloce or HAPS and FPGA prototyping.
• Experience in modeling for emulation and prototyping, and/or non-UVM environments
