Write and maintain C/C++ reference models, stimulus generators, checkers, and test code to support simulation and emulation.
Investigate failures across RTL, verification infrastructure, C/C++ models, and RNM models, and collaborate with designers to resolve issues.
Work with architects, digital and analog designers, and pre- and post-silicon verification teams to define verification scope, close coverage, and deliver high-quality IP on schedule.
What we need to see
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
At least 5 years of relevant design verification experience at the unit, subsystem, or SoC level.
Hands-on experience with Cadence Palladium or a comparable hardware emulation platform, including environment bring-up, regression execution, failure triage, and debug.
Strong C/C++ programming skills, with experience developing verification models, test infrastructure, or hardware validation tests.
Strong SystemVerilog skills and experience building verification environments using UVM.
Experience with constrained-random stimulus, functional coverage, assertions, and coverage closure.
Strong debugging and analytical skills, including isolating emulation failures and reproducing issues in simulation.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
Direct experience bringing up and debugging SerDes IP or subsystems on Cadence Palladium.
Experience adapting UVM testbenches, C/C++ models, and mixed-signal behavioral models for efficient emulation.
Experience developing SerDes RNM models and correlating their behavior with analog simulation results or silicon measurements.
Understanding of SerDes architectures, mixed-signal interfaces, calibration, adaptation, and link training.
Expertise in high-speed protocols such as PCI Express, USB, or SATA.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until November 10, 2026.
