Support Synopsys ZeBu emulation platform customers with their ASIC and SoC verification environments.

About the role

This role involves deploying, configuring, and troubleshooting Synopsys emulation platforms for customer ASIC and SoC verification environments. You will work with the ZeBu emulation platform, ensuring successful bring-up, debug, and performance optimization for complex chip designs.

What you'll do

• Deploy and configure Synopsys emulation platforms, including ZeBu, for customer ASIC and SoC verification environments.
• Troubleshoot complex technical issues across hardware emulation, FPGA prototyping, and virtual platforms.
• Lead pre-sales technical evaluations and proof-of-concept engagements for emulation capabilities.
• Work directly with customer engineering teams to resolve design-specific challenges related to testbenches, performance, or tool flow integration.
• Collaborate with sales, marketing, and R&D teams to communicate customer requirements and provide field feedback.
• Develop technical content including application notes, reference designs, and best practice documentation for emulation.

What you'll need

• 6-10 years of hands-on experience in IC design, verification, emulation, or FPGA prototyping.
• Deep understanding of ASIC design verification methodologies including simulation, emulation, and prototyping.
• Proficiency with HDLs such as Verilog and VHDL, and strong experience with SystemVerilog for testbench development and assertion-based verification.
• Working knowledge of C/C++ for software validation, embedded firmware debug, or performance analysis.
• Experience with hardware emulation platforms such as Palladium, Zebu, or Veloce, or hands-on work with FPGA-based prototyping or virtual platforms.
• Strong problem-solving skills to diagnose and resolve issues spanning RTL design, verification environments, platform configuration, and software integration.
