Tesla is looking for an Engineer to develop the emulation infrastructure for our Autopilot Silicon Development Hardware Team. You will be working with a team of highly talented engineers, who are focused on advancing Teslas mission.

**Role:**

* Architect, create, deploy and maintain DV infrastructure to apply hardware based emulation in finding pre-silicon defects at IP, subsystem & SoC levels

* Develop all aspects of hardware emulator implementation, with emphasis on design partitioning, synthesis, place & route, timing and make tradeoffs between capacity & performance

* Debug and root-cause failures efficiently in a time-constrained environment: ability to identifying emulation hardware and environment issues from silicon design issues

* Work closely with multi-disciplinary teams: RTL designers, DV folks, system architects, SW teams to bring up SoC in emulation

* Apply knowledge and experience in developing methodologies and strategies for automated debug and performance measurement, working closely with tool vendors as needed

* Integrate and debug external target interfaces like UART/JTAG/SPI/USB

* Integrate 3rd party Accelerated VIPs into emulation platform

* Integrate 3rd party IP for post-silicon debug support and verify functional correctness

* Leverage emulation capabilities for post-silicon validation bringup and production ramp

**Skills:**

* Deep knowledge of system architecture including CPU, GPU, memory sub-system, interconnects, peripherals, bus protocols, CSRs, etc

* Experience with design verification and validation methodologies and strategies

* Proven expertise in emulation platforms and/or FPGA based prototyping systems: Palladium, Protium, Veloce, Zebu

* Experience writing synthesizable bus functional models

* Deep knowledge of emulation methodologies including hybrid systems, simulation acceleration, FPGA based platforms

* Strong knowledge of how to debug designs with emulation or prototyping systems

* Solid programming skills in C/C++, Verilog, System Verilog, UVM, assembly, Python

* Experience with high performance industry standard buses like AXI4

* Experience with embedded software and debugging complex system-level issues

* Good communication skills, and a team player ability to work with multi-disciplinary teams

* Able to work independently in a fast-paced team and environment

* Experience with power and performance concepts

* Experience working with DPI/PLI
