Required Hardware Emulation Engineer, Cloud
About the job:
Be part of a diverse team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of our direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.
In this role, you will help develop and maintain emulation infrastructure, tools, and workflow methodologies supporting our ASIC projects. You will provide excellent emulation infrastructure and methodologies for supporting these projects. You will work directly with other emulation team members as well as designers, verification engineers, and software teams. You will work with with our external vendors, lab support teams, networking and security, and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tooling and methodology teams to deliver emulation based prototyping capabilities for our ASIC projects. You will also assist in compiling projects specifying our prototyping platforms, debugging issues in both infrastructure and design, assisting in the hardware and lab bring up, and verification of our ASIC systems.
Our mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices & Services team combines the best of our AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user's interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices & Services team is making people's lives better through technology.
Responsibilities:
Maintain and upgrade emulation infrastructure and act as a primary interface to emulation vendors.
Explore emulation methodologies, gather feedback from the team, and implement emulation workflows and methodologies.
Create tools and automation to support emulation EDA tools, licensing, and job management in our infrastructure.
Support emulation team members with debugging hardware, tooling, and project specific issues.
Bring up external interfaces (e.g., Universal Serial Bus/Flash Drive (USB), PCIe, Ethernet, etc.) on the emulation platforms, and create standalone test cases for tool issues encountered in the emulation compile and runtime flows.
Requirements: Minimum qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Experience with emulation systems, maintenance, upgrades, and methodology enhancements.
Experience with associated Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, and the addition of automation and flow enhancements.
Experience in using command debug tools (e.g., Verdi, SimVision/Indago, GDB) and programming in C, C++, Perl, TCL, or Python.
Preferred qualifications:
Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
Experience deploying EDA tools into distributed environments and supporting their usage.
Experience with system administration, networking, and security systems.
Experience with RTL design, Verilog, simulation, System Verilog, and assertions.
This position is open to all candidates.
