Job Description:

The Role and Impact

As an Emulation Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in developing, testing, and optimizing emulation and FPGA models to enable efficient pre-silicon validation and post-silicon software development for cutting-edge SoCs. On a day-to-day basis, you will build and debug hardware/software collateral, enhance the usability of emulation and prototyping platforms, and drive automation flows to improve modeling efficiency. Your contributions will directly impact the quality and performance of Intel's next-generation silicon products, accelerating innovation and validation processes.

Business group

At Intel, you will be part of a dynamic group focused on delivering high-quality emulation and prototyping solutions. This team collaborates across design, validation, and software domains to ensure seamless hardware/software integration and presilicon verification. Dedicated to driving technology excellence, the group plays a crucial role in enabling Intel's leadership in delivering reliable, high-performance Pre-Silicon solutions.

Key Responsibilities

•Develop emulation and FPGA models using synthesis, partitioning, and routing tools.

•Create, integrate, test, and debug hardware/software collateral for simulation, emulation, and FPGA platforms.

•Improve emulation and FPGA usability for presilicon verification, postsilicon validation, and software development.

•Debug RTL failures and support verification teams in optimizing test suites and methodologies for emulation efficiency.

•Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support IP and SoC bring-up activities.

•Innovate and apply automation flows, scripts, and tools to improve productivity and emulation utilization.

•Leverage hybrid emulation environments with virtual platforms and FPGA models to enhance testing capabilities.

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications

•High Signal-level debugging expertise in complex designs within simulation & lab environments.

•Willingness to work across geos (remotely), sometimes in inconvenient time zone differences (mainly Israel)

•Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 7 years of hands-on experience in domains such as FPGA prototyping, emulation, or RTL development; or a Master's degree with 6 years of experience.

•Proficiency in Verilog/VHDL for FPGA design and development.

•Proven Experience with FPGA tools such as Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, proFPGA CS VPS or equivalent tools.

•extensive knowledge and experience with AI tools, skills, agents, MCPs on the usage level.

•Strong debugging skills using tools such as logic analyzers, Chipscope, or equivalent.

Preferred Qualifications

•Familiarity with industry-standard protocols like AXI, PCIe, or USB.

•Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, TCL, or similar for automation.

•Experience with CPUs, GPUs, complex fabrics, or graphics chips.

•Strong problem-solving skills and ability to collaborate across technical domains.

Join us to shape the future of silicon innovation while advancing your career in an exciting and challenging environment.
