Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Develop SoC verification testbenches for simulation and power/performance emulation.
- Modify RTL and integrate IP blocks to build multiple SoC variants for analysis.
- Implement and modify system-level firmware and perform board/SoC bring-up to run test cases.
- Verify SoC functionality with bare-metal tests and OS boot sequences.
- Enable workloads and benchmarks on RTL simulation and power/performance emulation environments.
- Collaborate with architects to define and evaluate future SoC architectures.
- Develop tools, workflows and automation to support SoC integration and analysis.
Requirements
Key qualifications and skills.
- Detailed understanding of computer architecture and bus protocols.
- Experience bringing up full-chip SoC test cases in simulation and emulation environments.
- RTL implementation experience using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
- Proficient in Python or Ruby, and C/C++; experience with assembly language.
- Experience enabling workloads and benchmarks on RTL simulation and power/performance emulation platforms.
- Excellent communication, partnership and problem-solving skills; proactive work style.
Nice-to-have:
- Proficiency with Unix/Linux, scripting and source control systems (e.g., Git, Subversion).
- Familiarity with one or more CPU instruction sets and ARM architecture.
- Experience with compilers, assemblers or device drivers.
Education Requirements
