Design Emulation Engineer

Job Title

Design Emulation Engineer

Role Summary

Internship role on an ASIC design verification team focused on System-on-Chip (SoC) emulation and validation. Work involves using EDA simulation and emulation tools to validate digital designs, debug functional issues, and support verification flows for complex SoC projects.

The position is remote within Canada and reports to the Central Engineering Group; responsibilities include collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure design quality and verification completeness.

Experience Level

Entry-level (Internship / Student). Suitable for current undergraduate students; no specific years of professional experience required.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include verification, debugging, and teamwork to validate ASIC/SoC designs.

• Develop and run simulations and emulation tests to validate digital designs and verify functionality against specifications.
• Debug functional failures using EDA tools and root-cause analysis techniques.
• Write and maintain testbenches, verification environments, and scripts to automate verification tasks.
• Collaborate with design, firmware, and system teams to reproduce and resolve issues.
• Document findings and communicate results clearly to stakeholders.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and constraints for applicants. Preferred skills listed separately.

• Must be an active student (internship status) and eligible to work in Canada; this role is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.
• Foundational knowledge of digital logic design and verification methodologies.
• Experience or coursework with HDLs and verification languages (SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL).
• Familiarity with programming in C or C++ and scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or TCL.
• Experience or exposure to EDA simulation or emulation tools.

Nice-to-have:

• Exposure to UVM and industry-standard protocols (AXI, AHB, APB, UART, I2C, SPI).
• Experience in low-power verification, formal verification, SQL, business-intelligence tools (Power BI/Copilot), and Linux shell environments.

Education Requirements

Active student pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. (Undergraduate student status required; no alternative degree or equivalency language provided.)
