EMULATION ENGINEER

We are seeking a medium-sized Contingent Workforce (CW) skilled SOC Verification Engineers to support the Diamond Rapids (DMR) System-on-Chip (SOC) verification project. This critical initiative focuses on ensuring the functional correctness and performance of next-generation server and client SOCs. The team will play a pivotal role in simulation and emulation-based verification, directly contributing to the successful deployment of advanced semiconductor solutions.

Detailed Responsibilities

• Collaborate with architects, designers, and verification leads to define verification strategies for the DMR SOC.
• Develop, implement, and maintain System Verilog (SV) and UVM-based testbenches for comprehensive SOC functional verification.
• Execute simulation-based verification (70%) and emulation-based verification (30%) to validate complex SOC designs.
• Generate and debug test cases, analyze coverage metrics, and identify design issues or bottlenecks.
• Document verification plans, procedures, and results for internal and client-facing reports.
• Participate in regular technical reviews, status meetings, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure project milestones are met.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of verification methodologies, flows, and best practices.

Skill Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in SOC verification, with a strong focus on simulation and emulation.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog (SV) and Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).
• Demonstrated expertise in SOC-level verification, preferably with experience in server or client SOC projects.
• Solid understanding of verification planning, coverage analysis, and debugging complex hardware issues.
• Experience with industry-standard simulation and emulation tools.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Other Requirements (Optional)

• Familiarity with scripting languages (such as Python, Perl, or Shell) for automation.
• Experience working in global, cross-functional teams.
• Exposure to formal verification or post-silicon validation is a plus.
• Relevant industry certifications (e.g., Accellera UVM, IEEE) are advantageous.
