Description
The Role
As a part of the Emulation Team at Ampere, you will be part of verification of the next generation of microprocessor cores on hardware emulation platform by developing and deploying new capabilities and test content to accelerate bug finding in pre-silicon.
What the Team wants you to know
Design Verification is an integral part of the chip design process that ensures our customers get the absolute highest quality products that meets their functional and performance requirements. The Emulation Team at Ampere Computing comprises of stellar folks who have dedicated themselves to the art and fun of design verification. We are a tight knit, fast-paced team who work extremely closely with our design and architecture partners to ensure no bug is left behind.
What you'll do:
Your responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Be part of the emulation verification execution team and be responsible for planning, development, and execution of test content in varied domains including system stress, cache coherency and concurrency.
- Work in collaboration with design and architecture teams to root-cause failures using advanced debugging techniques.
- Develop high quality emulation test plans comprising of BareMetal content and OS based content for flushing even the most corner-case bugs.
- Create emulation models from RTL to run test content, using industry standard emulation platform technology.
- Develop or integrate high performance transactors and emulation test bench in System Verilog, SystemC/C++ and Python
- Review architecture and microarchitecture specs and influence design/microarchitecture decisions
- Be a mentor to some of the junior members of the team and help to grow them technically.
- Partner with emulation vendor to debug and quickly resolve blocking issues in the emulation technology as required
What You’ll Bring:
Demonstrated experience in more than one of the following areas:
- Knowledge about Cache coherency models, memory consistency models in AArch64 and/or x86.
- Knowledge about coherent interconnect protocols such as AMBA CHI, AXI4, ACE, etc. Knowledge of PCIE, DDR technology is a plus.
- Experience developing bare-metal content using C/C++ and assembly language for verification. ARM assembly expertise preferred.
- Experience with performance verification of coherent fabrics and cores is a plus.
- Experience debugging failures using innovative debug practices and familiarity with tools such as Verdi to debug RTL issues.
- Working experience with emulation technology of Zebu, Palladium or Mentor Veloce is strongly recommended.
- Self-motivated engineer with passion for innovation and demonstrated out-of-box thinking is strongly required.
Education
- M.Tech in Electronics Engineering or Computer Engineering with 6+ years of semiconductor experience or B.Tech in Electronics Engineering or Computer Engineering with 8+ years of semiconductor experience
