HBM Hardware Emulation Architect - SMTS

Job Title

HBM Hardware Emulation Architect - SMTS

Role Summary

Architect and deploy hardware emulation capabilities for next-generation HBM products. Collaborate with design, verification, firmware, and system teams to enable pre-silicon validation, firmware bring-up, and early software development.

Experience Level

Senior-level role. The posting requests 15+ years of relevant engineering or design engineering experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include building and operating emulation environments, enabling system-level validation, and supporting project milestones such as tapeout and bring-up.

• Develop and maintain hardware emulation environments for complex SoCs and subsystems.
• Compile, configure, and debug large-scale RTL designs on emulation platforms (e.g., Palladium, Veloce, Zebu).
• Support pre-silicon validation, firmware bring-up, and early software development using emulation.
• Debug functional, performance, and connectivity issues across RTL, firmware, and system layers.
• Create emulation testbenches, transactors, and models for system-level use cases.
• Enable hybrid validation flows (simulation + emulation + FPGA prototyping as needed).
• Provide hands-on support during key project milestones (tapeout, bring-up, customer enablement).
• Drive procurement and integration of emulation platforms and develop emulation-friendly verification IP.
• Lead integration of AI-driven tools and AI-enabled workflows into verification and emulation methodologies.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for successful performance in this role.

• 15+ years of relevant engineering or design engineering experience.
• Strong experience with RTL design and debug.
• Hands-on experience developing emulation platforms for complex GPU/CPU and memory systems.
• Experience debugging full-chip or subsystem-level designs.
• Solid understanding of SoC architecture, interconnects, and IP integration.
• Familiarity with firmware or low-level software interaction with hardware.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master’s degree (or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. The posting explicitly allows equivalent practical experience in lieu of degree.
