At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

We are seeking a highly skilled Design Engineer to join our Palladium Solutions Development team, to drive the development of full-system design verification environments. This role focuses on developing and integrating and validating high speed interface [Serdes, Chip 2 chip link] based subsystems in Emulation Platforms. Development includes Parallel and Serial models for highspeed interface circuits in analog Mixed Signal Designs and components (PHYs). Integration includes the PHY, Controller / Mac and the Accelerable Verification IP (AVIP) environments on Palladium and Protium. End-to-end verification flow development across a wide range of system components including custom test case developments, validating the bare-metal-driver components in emulation platforms.

Key Responsibilities:

+ Lead the design and deployment of PHY logic models for emulation platforms including Palladium and Protium.

+ Develop and maintain end-to-end verification environments, encompassing:

+ System-level models including microcontrollers, memories, NoC (Network-on-Chip), and high-speed communication interfaces

+ Test case generation

+ Interface Circuit Performance Analysis.

+ Contribute to system prototyping for early bring-up and validation of full-system designs.

+ Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration from simulation to emulation.

+ Optimize designs for multi-clock domain synchronization, area, and performance, with a focus on accuracy vs. runtime trade-offs.

+ Drive innovation in emulatable IP solutions and contribute to the evolution of verification methodologies.

Required Qualifications:

+ Bachelor’s or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 7-15 years of experience

+ Strong experience with system-level design and communication standards such as PCIe, UCIe, Ethernet, UALink, DDR, USB, SPI, JTAG, AMBA protocols

+ Proficiency in:

+ Converting Analog Mixed Signal Designs [Parallel and Serial models] to emulation models maintaining functional and bit accuracy, enabling software stack development for configuration, control and status monitoring.

+ SystemVerilog for synthesizable RTL design

+ C and Python for modeling, scripting, and automation

+ Lab debug and test case development

+ Hands-on experience with emulation platforms:

+ Palladium, Protium, Zebu, HAPS, Veloci, FPGA

+ Deep understanding of verification flows and emulation acceleration techniques.

Preferred Skills:

+ Experience building emulatable AVIP solutions

+ Familiarity with end-to-end verification environmentsfrom simulation through emulation

+ Experience in system prototyping and bring-up

+ Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

+ Excellent communication and leadership abilities
