As of Jul 14, 2026, the average hourly pay for virtual prototype design in the United States is $26.11, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $20.19 and $27.64 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is the difference between Virtual Prototype Design vs CAD Designer?

AspectVirtual Prototype DesignCAD Designer
Primary FocusCreating digital, functional prototypes of products or systemsDeveloping detailed 2D/3D technical drawings and models
Tools & SoftwareSimulation software, 3D modeling, virtual testing toolsCAD software like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA
Work EnvironmentProduct development teams, engineering labs, virtual simulation platformsDesign offices, engineering departments, manufacturing firms
Required CredentialsEngineering background, CAD knowledge, simulation skillsDesign or engineering degree, CAD certification

Virtual Prototype Design focuses on creating digital, functional models for testing and validation, often using simulation tools. CAD Designers primarily develop detailed technical drawings and 3D models for manufacturing. While both roles require CAD skills and engineering knowledge, Virtual Prototype Design emphasizes virtual testing and simulation, whereas CAD Design centers on detailed documentation and design creation.

Job description

SystemC Modelling Engineer
Description:
  • Will be responsible for developing and maintaining high-fidelity system-level models using SystemC for hardware/software co-design and verification.
  • This role is crucial for enabling early performance analysis, architecture exploration, and functional validation of complex embedded systems.
  • The engineer will work closely with architecture, design, and verification teams to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the SystemC models.
  • Projects will involve modeling various components of a platform, including processors, memory subsystems, and peripherals.
  • The candidate will utilize SystemC and related simulation environments.

Key Roles & Responsibilities:
  • Develop and maintain accurate and efficient SystemC models of platform components, including processors, memory controllers, and peripherals.
  • Implement TLM-based interfaces for communication between SystemC models and other simulation environments.
  • Validate the accuracy of SystemC models through comparison with RTL simulations and hardware prototypes, achieving a model fidelity target of X% (define target).
  • Collaborate with architecture and design teams to define modeling requirements and ensure models accurately reflect system specifications.
  • Contribute to the development of SystemC modeling guidelines and best practices within the organization.
  • Create and maintain documentation for SystemC models, including model descriptions, usage examples, and validation reports.
  • Debug and resolve issues identified during SystemC simulation, improving model performance and stability, reducing simulation time by X%.
  • Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to other engineers.

Required Skills:
  • SystemC & TLM (Transaction Level Modeling)
  • C++ (Proficient level, including object-oriented design principles)
  • Hardware Description Languages (HDLs): VHDL or Verilog (Understanding and ability to interface with)
  • Debugging Tools (e.g., GDB, DVE)
  • Scripting Languages (Python, Perl, or similar)
  • Version Control Systems (Git)
  • Embedded Systems Architecture (Understanding of processor architectures, memory hierarchies, and bus protocols)
  • Communication (Excellent written and verbal communication skills)
  • Problem-Solving (Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities)
  • Team Collaboration (Ability to work effectively in a team environment)
  • Defining transaction level models of non-memory mapped interfaces (I2C, SPI, USB, CAN, Ethernet etc.)
  • Porting the embedded operating system (Linux, VxWorks, Android ) on the virtual prototype, developing the device drivers etc.
  • Verification of models at IP & SoC level.
  • Develop regress able self-checking test suites using C/ARM assembly.
  • Develop System Level Flows and Methodologies using virtual prototypes

Desired Skills:
  • Experience with Board bring-up, platform initialization, board support package development, peripherals such as PCIe, I2C, SPI, USB, UART , OS primitives, memory management, scheduling, interrupts, and multi-threading.
  • Good experience in system level debugging with comprehensive understanding of managing and prioritizing system level issues.
  • Extensive background in firmware development or embedded software development within a multicore environment or hardware context.
