Emulation and Prototyping Architect - SoC Performance/Power Exploration/Verification

Job Overview

We are seeking highly skilled and motivated System-on-Chip (SoC) Emulation engineers to join our diverse team at Arm! Our team focuses on performance architecture and PnP analysis of Arm SoCs/SoPs (System-on-Package), System level infrastructure (SoC/SoP/Rackscale/Podscale) in pre- and post- silicon environments. Working closely with implementation teams and customers, we develop best-in-class silicon platforms across markets such as servers, accelerators, client, infrastructure, IoT, and automotive.

Responsibilities

As a member/lead of SOC emulation team you will be involved in:

• Supporting multiple Emulation environments using the latest emulation techniques.
• Building early SoC platforms to facilitate performance/power analysis and debug. Able to handle/modify RTL and stitch together SoCs with standardized interfaces from scratch for bare-metal and validation OS based bringups. Collaboration with design teams to ensure the production of clean RTL code.
• Developing system level testbenches to implement performance and power benchmarks, simpoints and use cases in emulation platform. Integrate observation options to assemble and debug performance/power studies, correlate with pre-Si simulation/post-Si, lead larger implementation teams for emulation at later implementation phases and work with post-Si teams for analysis/tuning. Help drive innovation in model building and debugging methodologies.
• Collaborate with SoC Architecture team to create testplans covering all metrics for the product. Define flexible/reduced SoC configurations allowing reduction in simulation and emulation capacities, while providing accurate performance estimates. Collaborate with emulation vendors to define distributed systems to split huge SOC netlist between multiple emulation boxes.
