Emulation Engineer

Do Something Wonderful! 

Intel put Silicon in Silicon Valley. No one else is obsessed with engineering and have a brighter future. Every day, we create world-changing technology that enriches the lives of every person on earth. So, if you have a big idea, let's do something wonderful together. Join us, because at Intel, we are building a better tomorrow.  

Who We Are 

The goal of Emulation team is to build core-only emulation models for E-core projects, execute random instruction tests on these models, debug failures and find CPU bugs. We collaborate closely with CPU design team and other validation team (both pre-silicon & post-silicon) for various aspects of core validation.

Who You Are 

Your responsibilities are as follows but not limited to:

• Builds emulation and FPGA models and solutions from RTL design using synthesis, partitioning, and routing tools. 

• Develops, integrates, tests, and debugs hardware and software collateral in simulation, emulation, and FPGA models for testing new features, writes directed tests, develops the test environment and hybrid emulation environment, and supports verification of hardware and software/firmware. 

• Defines and develops new capabilities and tools to achieve better verification through improved emulation and FPGA model usability. 

• Enables acceleration of RTL development and improve emulation/FPGA model usability for presilicon verification, postsilicon validation, and software development. 

• Develops improvements to usability by RTL validation and debugging of failing RTL tests on the emulation platform and interfaces with and provides guidance to verification teams for optimizing presilicon verification environments, test suites, and methodologies for emulation efficiency. 

• Develops and utilizes automation aids, flows, and scripts in support of emulation utilization. 

• Applies understanding of emulation and FPGA prototyping tools and methodologies, SoC integration, emulation transactors, emulation performance and optimization techniques, RTL simulation, and hybrid emulation environments (virtual platform and FPGA/emulation model). 

• Collaborates with design, power and performance, silicon validation, and software teams, and participates in SoC and IP bring up, root causes testbench issues, IP and SoC test cases, and emulator/FPGA environment issues. 

You must possess the minimum education requirements and minimum required qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Relevant experience can be obtained through schoolwork, classes, project work, internships, and/or military experience. Additional preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.  
  

Minimum Qualifications  

• The candidate must have a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering with 3+ years of relevant experience OR Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 2+ years of relevant experience. 

The candidate should have any two of the following experiences: 

• Extensive industry experiences building emulation/FPGA models. 

• Experience developing BFMs, testbench and transactors. 

• Proficient in System Verilog, C++, Python and Perl.
