Software Engineer, Staff/Senior Staff - Virtual Platforms

Job description

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.
