Standard Simulation Verification: Perform traditional pre-silicon verification tasks using SystemVerilog and UVM. Author test cases, develop monitors/checkers, and debug RTL anomalies using waveform viewers.
Debug & Triage: Diagnose complex hardware, testbench, and environment issues on Palladium using advanced hardware-debugging features. Root-cause failures across both simulation and emulation environments.
Infrastructure & Automation: Build and maintain automated scripts to seamlessly compile the RTL database and launch Palladium regressions. Manage database hand-offs between design release teams and the emulation environment.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with a minimum of 8 years of hardware description or verification experience.
OR Master’s Degree in a related field with a minimum of 6 years of relevant experience.
Preferred Skillsets & Technical Knowledge
Emulation Platforms: Deep hands-on experience with the Cadence Palladium enterprise emulation platform (e.g., Palladium Z1/Z2 or newer systems).
Front-End Flows: Strong proficiency in hardware description languages (Verilog / SystemVerilog) and hardware synthesis concepts for emulation mapping.
Verification Methodologies: Proven experience with UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) simulation frameworks, assertion-based testing (SVA), and metric-driven coverage closure.
Scripting & Tool Automation: Expertise in Python, Perl, Bash, or Tcl to parse log files, automate compiler tools, and manage massive regression databases.
Hardware Architecture: Solid understanding of AMBA subsystem protocols (AXI, AHB, APB) and processor interfaces to safely configure memory and clock domains inside the emulator.
