The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in FPGA-based prototyping and emulation of complex SoC designs, and will work closely with RTL designers, verification engineers, and software teams to enable early software development and system validation.\nThe candidate should be able to lead, define and execute a long term strategy for Pre-Si using emulation/FPGA-prototyping platforms. Optimize and automate emulation infrastructure and enable hardware/software/firmware/validation teams for successful and swift execution of microcontroller SoCs.\nJob Description:\nFPGA-based Pre-Silicon validation Platform development for IP and Subsystems\nIP/SS Design porting and implementation for FPGA\nDevelopment & bring-up of Pre-Silicon Validation platforms like HAPS-100/Veloce / Palladium/ZeBU or FPGA for the IP/SOC Validation\nDevelopment and execution of system use case scenarios\nAbility to work well as part of a team Knowledge/Skills\n8-15 years of experience in developing FPGA-based prototype platforms for multi-million gate IP/Subsystem/SoC\nShould be able to understand system level environment for MicroControllers\nPlanning Test strategy, creating test plan, and test code development to address functional and performance requirements of the IP/Subsystem.\nExperience with Verilog/System Verilog/VHDL and working knowledge of C/C++\nWorking knowledge of one more of the industry standard Emulation platforms like Veloce / HAPS / Palladium platform\nExpertise in using validation environment test equipment e.g. Logic Analyzers, Oscilloscope, Protocol Analyzers etc.\nExperience in working on ARM/RISC-V core architectures would be an advantage.\nKey Responsibilities:\nDevelop and maintain Emulation / FPGA-based prototyping platforms for pre-silicon validation.\nIntegrate and debug RTL blocks on FPGA platforms (e.g., Xilinx, Intel/Altera).\nCollaborate with design and verification teams to bring up emulation environments.\nOptimize FPGA resource usage and timing closure for large-scale designs.\nSupport software teams with early access to hardware through emulation/prototyping.\nAutomate build and deployment flows using scripting languages (Python, Tcl, Shell).\nDocument design flows, debug procedures, and provide training/support to internal teams.\nTechnical skill Required :\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.\n6-12 years of hands-on experience in FPGA prototyping or emulation.\nStrong understanding of digital design fundamentals and RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog).\nExperience with FPGA tools such as Vivado, Quartus, Synplify, or similar.\nFamiliarity with at least some of the emulation platforms like Veloce, HAPS-100, Palladium or Zebu is a important\nProficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, Tcl).\nGood problem-solving and debugging skills.\nExcellent communication and teamwork abilities.\n More information about NXP in
