  • Develop SystemC/TLM2.0-based functional, timing, and performance models for server subsystems (CPU, memory, I/O, accelerators, AI engines).
  • Build modular, scalable models for Compute & AI workloads and integrate them into simulation frameworks.
  • Perform system-level performance modeling, profiling, and bottleneck analysis across compute, memory, and accelerator paths.
  • Support pre-silicon BIOS, firmware, and driver enablement using virtual platforms.
  • Validate models against RTL or hardware references to ensure functionality and accuracy.
  • Work with simulators such as Synopsys Virtualizer, Cadence VSP, QEMU-based frameworks, etc.

  • Knowledge of pre-silicon simulation flows and virtual platform development.
  • Ability to analyze performance data, interpret system behavior, and provide optimization insights.
  • Strong debugging skills in complex simulation environments.
  • Desired Skills:
  • Experience modeling AI/ML accelerators, GPUs, or heterogeneous compute units.
  • Familiarity with server-class SoC architectures (x86, ARM, RISC-V).
  • Exposure to firmware/BIOS bring-up using virtual models.
  • Knowledge of RTL design (SystemVerilog) or hardware emulation (optional).
  • Experience with performance tools, trace-driven analysis, or workload modeling.
  • Understanding of high-speed interfaces (PCIe, CXL, NVMe, Ethernet).
  • Qualification:
  • Bachelor s or Master s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
  • 8 years of experience in SystemC/TLM modeling, pre-silicon simulation, or architectural modeling for semiconductor/server platforms.
