• You will lead teams who manage our Emulation &Prototyping Environments, write tests, create bare metal operating systems, & enable frameworks that allow us to reuse and scale testing from pre-silicon through post silicon.


• Working with end users and cross functional partners to understand system use cases to help guide Emulation. Ensuring a tight loops between ASIC qualification and the final application use models


• Provide Leadership (Technical & Career) Guidance to our ASIC Engineers


• Scale the delivery of emulation and prototyping models from RTL on industry standard emulation and prototyping platforms.


• Guide the emulation team planning to ensure quality of the models and assist in pre-silicon validation.


• Drive innovation in emulation methodologies for HW verification and SW development.


• Develop emulation tools, workflows and infrastructure in collaboration with RTL, verification, validation and SW teams for productivity during debug, runtime, and data analysis of results from emulation runs.
