Bring up PCIe and Ethernet interfaces in emulation (link training, enumeration, protocol debug).
Debug emulation failures using waves, logs, and hardware traces.
Work closely with design/DV/software teams for SoC bring-up and test execution.

Modify/extend verification testcases when required and execute them in simulation/emulation.

Required Skills

Hands-on experience with Veloce and familiarity with ZeBu emulation flows.
Strong C/C++ programming for transactors and host applications.
Good understanding of PCIe, Ethernet, or RISC-V (SiFive) processors.
Solid knowledge of Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL and verification flows.
Strong Verilog/SystemVerilog skills to design shims, wrappers, and custom IP RTL for integration into emulation models
Minimum 5+ years of experience in emulation, verification, or related SoC development roles.
