Emulation Engineer, Hardware Prototyping (HAPS)

Highlights

• Own full-chip prototype bring-up from RTL to firmware boot end to end.
• Build self-service flows that let software users run images without support.
• Instrument deep trace across partitions and surface debug insights usefully.

What they offer

• Medical, dental, and vision packages with generous premium coverage
• $500 per month credit for waiving medical benefits
• Housing subsidy of $2,500 per month for those living within walking distance of the office
• Relocation support for those moving to San Jose (Santana Row)
• Various wellness benefits covering fitness, mental health, and more

Ideal candidate

A hands-on prototyper who loves bring-up, unblocking firmware and software teams, and chasing ambiguous failures across boundaries.

Requirements

• Hands-on FPGA prototyping experience — HAPS, Protium, proFPGA, S2C, or similar — covering partitioning, synthesis, timing closure, bring-up, and debug
• Strong SystemVerilog and Verilog, with working understanding of what synthesizes well for FPGA
• Solid C/C++ and Linux system development
• Scripting fluency for automation — Python, TCL, shell
• Comfort debugging failures you didn't cause, in code you didn't write, for users who need an answer today
• Experience with ProtoCompiler, Vivado, or Synopsys prototyping flows
• Firmware, driver, or bootloader bring-up experience on pre-silicon platforms
• Experience with emulation platforms (ZeBu, Palladium, Veloce) alongside prototyping
• UVM verification environments, DFT, and testbench modeling
• Waveform debug tooling: Verdi, SimVision
• Cluster and job scheduling experience (SLURM), CI systems
