Software Engineer, Staff/Senior Staff - Virtual Platforms

General Summary

As a Software Virtual Platform Engineer, you will specialize in virtual platforms, including SystemC TLM and QEMU. Your primary focus will be on developing high-level system virtual models of complex SoC hardware.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience.
• OR Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 3+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience.
• OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience.
• 2+ years of work experience with programming languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc.

Key responsibilities include:

• Designing and developing SystemC TLM models to accurately represent SoC architectures.
• Integrating components such as processors, interconnects, peripherals, and custom IP blocks into the SystemC simulator.
• Collaborating closely with hardware designers, software engineers, and other stakeholders to understand system requirements and translate them into detailed SystemC models.
• Extensive experience with C++ programming to ensure efficient and effective model development.

Preferred Qualifications

• 10+ years of Software/Firmware Engineering or related work experience.
• 5+ years of experience developing Virtual Platforms or Simulators
• Open Source Development experience
• Experience in Unit Testing
• Continuous Integration
• ARM Fast Models
• Server Architecture (RAS, Manageability)

Top Preferred Skills

1. SystemC TLM or QEMU
2. Modern C++
3. ARM Architecture (CPU, GIC, CoreSight Debug)
4. Firmware and/or Device Driver Development and Debug
5. Git Revision Control

Principal Duties and Responsibilities

• Leverage advanced software/hardware systems knowledge and experience to design, develop, create, and modify virtual models.
• Define software requirements to develop complex SoC TLM models.
• Design and implement TLM models for complex, large-scale products and systems.
• Lead design, coding, and testing efforts to ensure that projects are completed to specifications and schedules.
• Perform code reviews and regression tests, as well as triage and fix issues to ensure the quality of code.
• Collaborate with individuals outside the software function (e.g., hardware, systems, and test engineers) to increase leverage and design solutions that work with other components of a specific project.

Level of Responsibility

• Work independently with minimal supervision.
• Make critical decisions that significantly impact program, product, or project success.
• Utilize strong verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information, often requiring negotiation, influence, and tact.
• Have a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions, being consulted by senior leadership for key decisions.
• Perform tasks that often require multiple steps, extensive planning, problem-solving, and prioritization to complete effectively.
