Senior Emulation / FPGA Prototyping Engineer 

About This Role

• FPGA-based Pre-Silicon validation Platform development for IP and Subsystems IP/SS Design porting and implementation for FPGA Development & bring-up of Pre-Silicon Validation platforms like HAPS-100/Veloce / Palladium/ZeBU or FPGA for the IP/SOC Validation Development and execution of system use case scenarios Ability to work well as part of a team Knowledge/Skills 8-15 years of experience in developing FPGA-based prototype platforms for multi-million gate IP/Subsystem/SoC Should be able to understand system level environment for MicroControllers Planning Test strategy, creating test plan, and test code development to address functional and performance requirements of the IP/Subsystem.
• Experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog/VHDL and working knowledge of C/C++ Working knowledge of one more of the industry standard Emulation platforms like Veloce / HAPS / Palladium platform Expertise in using validation environment test equipment e.g.
• Logic Analyzers, Oscilloscope, Protocol Analyzers etc.
• Experience in working on ARM/RISC-V core architectures would be an advantage.
• Key Responsibilities: Develop and maintain Emulation / FPGA-based prototyping platforms for pre-silicon validation.
• Integrate and debug RTL blocks on FPGA platforms (e.g., Xilinx, Intel/Altera).
• Collaborate with design and verification teams to bring up emulation environments.
• Optimize FPGA resource usage and timing closure for large-scale designs.
• Support software teams with early access to hardware through emulation/prototyping.
• Automate build and deployment flows using scripting languages (Python, Tcl, Shell).
• Document design flows, debug procedures, and provide training/support to internal teams.
• Technical skill Required : Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. 8-15 years of hands-on experience in FPGA prototyping or emulation.
• Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals and RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog).
• Experience with FPGA tools such as Vivado, Quartus, Synplify, or similar.
• Familiarity with at least some of the emulation platforms like Veloce, HAPS-100, Palladium or Zebu is a important Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, Tcl).
• Good problem-solving and debugging skills.
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
