Emulation Engineer (Ethernet)

Job Description: :
Conduct detailed studies of chip architecture and micro-architecture to define, develop, and execute
comprehensive pre-silicon test plans that thoroughly validate switch features.
Verify the design, architecture, and micro-architecture using emulation platforms.
Develop sub-system and chip-level tests using Tcl, ITcl, Python, and C/C++ to verify networking switch
chips in emulation platforms.
Build and synthesize Verilog/SystemVerilog-based models for emulation platforms such as Zebu or
Palladium. Perform block, sub-system and chip/system-level debugging and root cause analysis for hardware and
software issues, addressing pre-silicon challenges.
Develop and optimize automation scripts and emulation methodologies to improve efficiency, reusability,
and coverage.
Create reusable synthesizable design blocks, libraries, and verification components to streamline emulation
processes.
Build and maintain robust emulation environments that support a global user community.
Collaborate closely with Architecture, Micro-Architecture, Design, DV, and Software teams to achieve
comprehensive verification coverage and smooth project execution.
Ability to define verification scope and contribute to the development of verification infrastructure for
networking switches.
Experience collaborating with architects, designers, and software engineers to achieve verification goals.
Hands-on experience with emulation platforms (Zebu, Palladium), traffic generators (IXIA, Spirent), and
high-speed interface protocols (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet) is desirable.
Strong debugging skills and familiarity with DPI transactors, assertions, and coverage-driven verification.
Verification engineers with simulation backgrounds are also encouraged to apply strong verification
fundamentals are highly
