HBM Hardware Emulation Engineer
$124,000 - $308,000 USD yearly
Hardware emulation for HBM products across Palladium, Veloce, and Zebu platforms.
Originally posted 12 November 2026 by the employer.
About the role
As a Hardware Emulation Architect on the HBM architecture team, you will architect, enable, and deploy hardware emulation capabilities for HBM products. You will work with design, firmware, and system teams to determine emulation requirements and drive the hardware emulation ecosystem.
What you'll do
- Develop and maintain hardware emulation environments for complex SoCs and subsystems.
- Compile, configure, and debug large-scale RTL designs on emulation platforms such as Palladium, Veloce, or Zebu.
- Support pre-silicon validation, firmware bring-up, and early software development using emulation.
- Debug functional, performance, and connectivity issues across RTL, firmware, and system layers.
- Create emulation testbenches, transactors, and models for system-level use cases, enabling hybrid validation flows across simulation, emulation, and FPGA prototyping.
- Develop agentic AI flows, leveraging LLM and Gen AI capabilities.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of relevant Engineering or Design Engineering experience.
- Strong experience with RTL design and debug.
- Hands-on experience with hardware emulation platforms.
- Solid understanding of SoC architecture, interconnects, and IP integration.
- Experience debugging full-chip or subsystem level designs, alongside familiarity with firmware or low-level software interaction with hardware.

How we counted: 1412 open Design Verification (Design Verification) roles from 101 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 14 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Digital Design & Verification family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
