Key Responsibilities

• 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/System Verilog-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.

What You Bring

• 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.

• Bachelor’s degree with 8+ years in pre-silicon verification/emulation of networking ASICs.

• Strong expertise in Verilog/System Verilog, C/C++, Tcl, Python, and scripting for automation.

• 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 valued.

• Excellent communicator who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.
