Responsibilities

  • Synthesize the Verilog RTL and create models for emulators like Veloce, Palladium, Zebu, and FPGA platforms.
  • Develop all aspects of hardware emulator implementation, focusing on design partitioning, synthesis, place and route, and timing analysis.
  • Drive debug failures on the emulator using the latest technologies.
  • Collaborate with designers and the software driver team for test planning and debugging.
  • Work with tool vendors to improve the area and performance of synthesized FPGA RTL.
  • Integrate third-party IP and perform system-level debugging.
