Contract Emulation Engineer information

What are Contract Emulation Engineers?

Contract Emulation Engineers are specialized professionals who design, develop, and test hardware or software systems that replicate the functionality of electronic components or systems—often under a contract arrangement. Their work is crucial in industries like semiconductor, automotive, and aerospace, where they help validate designs before physical prototypes are built. They use tools such as FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) and emulation platforms to simulate real-world performance, enabling faster and more cost-effective development cycles. Typically, they collaborate with design teams to ensure that emulated systems accurately mirror intended behaviors and facilitate efficient debugging.

What are some typical challenges Contract Emulation Engineers face when working with new hardware designs?

Contract Emulation Engineers often encounter challenges when integrating complex, new hardware designs into emulation platforms. These can include debugging compatibility issues, optimizing performance to match real-world scenarios, and ensuring accurate representation of the hardware's behavior. Collaboration with design engineers and verification teams is key to quickly resolving issues and delivering reliable results on tight project timelines. Staying updated with the latest emulation tools and methodologies also helps in overcoming these technical hurdles.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Contract Emulation Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Contract Emulation Engineer, you need a strong background in hardware design, verification methodologies, and programming languages such as SystemVerilog, along with a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with emulation platforms like Cadence Palladium, Mentor Veloce, or Synopsys ZeBu, and industry-standard verification tools, is typically required. Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for collaborating with cross-functional teams and debugging complex systems. These capabilities are essential for efficiently validating hardware designs, ensuring product reliability, and meeting project deadlines in high-stakes environments.

Ventana Micro Systems

Cupertino, CA • On-site

Full-time

Posted 9 days ago

Job description

Ventana is building the highest-performance RISC-V CPUs on the planet—designed for data center, AI, and edge workloads, with real silicon, not slideware.
Our second-generation Veyron core (V2) is on track to ship early next year, featuring an aggressive wide-issue pipeline and built in 4nm. Development on Veyron V3 is ramping now, with even greater performance and deep AI platform integration. This is your opportunity to work alongside engineers who built iconic processors like the AMD K6 and the first 64-bit ARM server processor (X-Gene at AppliedMicro)—bringing decades of CPU innovation to a clean-slate, open-standards future. You can check us out here: Ventana Micro - YouTube
Ventana is looking to fill multiple technical Senior Engineer positions to continue the development of its innovative RISC-V processors and subsystems. We seek experienced professionals who can successfully work cross-functionally between all pre-silicon disciplines (arch/uarch, design, DV, software, performance, emulation/prototyping), with the focus on the development, debugging, and maintenance of complex system level hybrid execution environments to enable pre-silicon bring up of system software and performance benchmarking workloads. 
Requirements: 
  • 8+ years industry experience
  • Bachelors or Masters or PhD degree in related engineering field
  • Ability to take initiative, work independently and across geographies
  • Strong domain knowledge of computer architecture
Skills & Qualifications Desired: 
  • Hands on experience with commercial emulation (Cadence Palladium, Mentor Veloce) and/or prototyping (Cadence Protium, HAPS) solutions: transactor development, virtual prototyping, implementation/enablement of flows for advanced verification techniques (assertions, coverage, UPF)
  • Good understanding of modern SystemVerilog for design and verification
  • Strong software development experience in compiled (C/C++) and interpreted (Python, Tcl) languages
  • Strong hardware/software co-debug skills
  • Exposure to isolating and reproducing silicon bugs in emulation
  • Hands on knowledge of firmware, OS (Linux, RTOS) and hypervisor (Xen, KVM) open source software stacks for embedded and server applications
  • Industry experience with CPU architectures (RISC-V, x86, armv8), coherent communication protocols and standard IO interfaces
  • Crisp and clear communication skills
BASE SALARY RANGE

$105,000 TO $260,000 per year
