Job Description



We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated FPGA Prototyping and Emulation Engineer to join our hardware development team. This role is critical to accelerating silicon validation and system-level debug through advanced prototyping and emulation platforms. You will work closely with architecture, design, and verification teams to enable early software development and system bring-up.
The Person:
We’re on the lookout for an Engineer with strong experience in semiconductor validation and hardware/software co-debug. Ideal candidates will have worked on advanced SoC designs and validation methodologies, with prior experience developing large-scale SoC models (1B+ gates) and applying expert debug techniques.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and maintain FPGA-based prototypes using Xilinx FPGAs and Synopsys HAPS platforms.
  • Perform FPGA synthesis, partitioning, and timing closure for complex SoC designs.
  • Drive bring-up and debug of SoC prototypes, including waveform capture and analysis.
  • Interface with custom PCBs and semiconductor components for system-level validation.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support pre-silicon and post-silicon debug.
  • Integrate and support emulation platforms including Synopsys ZeBu, Cadence Palladium/Protium, and Mentor Veloce.
  • Use AI-based modeling to generate behavioral models of removed modules.
  • Maintain and monitor quality model development, deployment, and automated regression testing infrastructure.
  • Develop and maintain model "smoke tests" to ensure model functionality prior to delivery to bring-up teams.
  • Drive technical innovation across validation, including tool and script development, methodology enhancement, and cross-functional initiatives.
  • Debug issues across bring-up, validation, and production phases of SoC programs.
  • Track test execution and ensure timely validation and optimization of all features.
  • Engage with other software/hardware modeling frameworks and support teams.
  • Lead collaborative efforts across multiple engineering teams.
Required Qualifications:
  • Strong hands-on experience with Xilinx FPGA architecture and toolchains.
  • Expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog design and simulation.
  • Proficiency with FPGA synthesis and partitioning tools (e.g., Synplify, Vivado).
  • Experience with Synopsys HAPS prototyping platforms.
  • Solid understanding of SoC bring-up, debug methodologies, and waveform analysis.
  • Familiarity with PCB bring-up and hardware/software interfacing.
  • Proficiency with C/C++, low-level boot code, and firmware development.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with emulation platforms such as Synopsys ZeBu, Cadence Palladium/Protium, or Mentor Veloce.
  • Understanding of BIOS for system, x86, and ARM cores.
  • Knowledge of scripting languages (Python, Tcl, Perl, Ruby) for automation and tool integration.
  • Background in semiconductor validation and hardware/software co-debug.
  • Prior development of large SoC models (1B gates+).
  • Strong debug techniques and methodologies.
  • Extensive experience with lab equipment (protocol/logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, etc.).
  • Deep experience with board/platform-level debug, delivery, sequencing, and optimization.
  • Strong knowledge of system architecture and validation strategy.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
  • Self-starter with the ability to independently drive tasks to completion.
