• Collaborating with a global multi-site team specializing in Behavioral compiler and DPI, Clock Processing, Timing Analysis, Performance Tuning, and Runtime Throughput.
• Contributing to the development of the Zebu emulation flow by partitioning designs into multiple parts, compiling them into low-level binary bit-streams, and running them on FPGAs.
• Engaging in continuous learning and application of new technologies to improve existing systems.
• Participating in code reviews and providing constructive feedback to peers.The Impact You Will Have:
• Driving innovation and solving complex problems that enhance our technology offerings.
• Providing technical leadership that guides and inspires junior team members.
• Developing and implementing software solutions that lead to improved performance and efficiency.
• Enhancing the Zebu emulation flow, contributing to the validation of SoC designs up to 60 billion gates.
• Ensuring the highest possible hardware throughput for testbenches used in design validation.
• Promoting a culture of continuous improvement and technological advancement within the team.What You'll Need:
• MS/Ph.D. Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.
• 15+ years of software development experience in developing and testing large C++ applications in a Linux environment.
• Ability to understand complex problems and propose creative and efficient solutions.
• Experience with efficient algorithm and data structure design.
• Understanding of digital logic design, FPGA architecture, and hardware description language (like Verilog, System Verilog).
• EDA knowledge preferred, especially in partitioning, place-and-route, static timing analysis, synthesis or timing closure for large capacity and high-performance designs.
• Machine learning experience is preferred but not mandatory.Who You Are:You are a collaborative and innovative engineer with a passion for technology. Your highly developed interpersonal skills enable you to work effectively in both team environments and autonomously. You are motivated by solving complex problems and are always seeking new ways to improve and innovate.
