The posting

Role Overview

We're looking for a Senior Emulation Engineer to bring up, own, and scale the emulation infrastructure for Velaura's next-generation Physical AI SoC. You'll set up and optimize emulation flows on industry-leading platforms and partner with architects, RTL, verification, software, and system teams to accelerate pre-silicon validation—building confidence in the correctness, performance, reliability, and safety of the design, from individual RTL blocks to full HW/SW systems running real-world workloads at emulation speed.

  • Set up, own, and maintain emulation flows for the Velaura SoC on Palladium, Veloce, and/or Zebu.
  • Bring up designs on the emulator, resolving compile/elaboration, capacity/partitioning, and design-mapping issues.
  • Build and maintain regression flows, optimizing compile time, run time, throughput, and capacity utilization.
  • Support HW/SW co-verification and pre-silicon software bring-up—firmware, drivers, runtime, and OS.
  • Optimize on-emulator debug (waveform capture, triggers, visibility) and drive fast root-cause analysis across HW/SW.
  • Verify performance, latency, bandwidth, QoS, and real-time behavior under representative workloads.
  • Partner with architects, RTL, and verification engineers on emulation strategy, transactor requirements, and coverage goals.
  • Emulate compute engines, memory subsystems, interconnect fabrics, control processors, DMA engines, and other core SoC infrastructure.
  • Build automation, scripting, and CI hooks for compile and regression pipelines.
  • Contribute to FPGA prototyping, pre-silicon validation, and post-silicon debug.
  • Apply modern tools, including AI-assisted verification and debug, to improve productivity, quality, and coverage.
  • Contribute to a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
  • 10+ years in hardware emulation and/or verification of complex digital systems.
  • Hands-on experience setting up emulation flows on Palladium, Veloce, or Zebu.
  • Ability to debug compile and elaboration issues on emulation platforms.
  • Proven ability to set up and optimize emulation regression flows for faster turnaround.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong grasp of computer, micro-, and SoC architecture and digital design fundamentals.
  • Solid understanding of CDC, clocking, and reset behavior in emulation bring-up.
  • Experience with SystemVerilog, UVM, C/C++, transactors, and assertions.
  • Understanding of memory systems, interconnects, caches, DMA engines, processors, or accelerators.
  • Experience debugging complex system-level issues across hardware and software.
  • Strong scripting and automation skills for build, regression, and CI pipelines.
  • Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team.
  • Experience with design partitioning, capacity optimization, and multi-FPGA/multi-board emulation scaling.
  • Experience with FPGA prototyping and pre-silicon software bring-up environments.
  • Experience with HW/SW co-verification and system-level validation.
  • Familiarity with low-power methodologies and their verification/emulation criteria.
  • Experience with AI, machine learning, or edge AI hardware.
  • Familiarity with robotics, drones, autonomous vehicles, or industrial automation systems.
  • Experience verifying or emulating QoS, latency-sensitive, or real-time systems.
  • Exposure to performance modeling, profiling, and workload characterization.
  • Experience with one or more of the following standards: ISO 26262, IEC 61508, IEC 61511, ISO 13849.
  • Experience using modern AI tools and workflows to accelerate engineering productivity.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
