At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

Hardware emulator is a complex embedded system used by many SoC, software and system design companies to validate their multi-billion designs prior to, during and after the chip released to fabrication. Since the emulation platform is used by many engineers for time sensitive work, it must be available 24-x7 to support the development.

Cadence is the leader in hardware emulation and prototyping technology. System Engineering (SE) team is looking for a system control plane design engineer to help develop the next generation products and also to enhance existing platforms.

Key responsibilities

• Collaborate with hw/sw/system architects to design and implement the next generation platform using PCIe/IB/RoCE/Ethernet technology.

• Define system control SW and HW, boot sequence and time allocation in each of the major steps.

• Model and analyze the various system faults and recovery time and their impacts on system RAS.

• Define and develop any necessary control plane monitoring tools.

• Define and drive integration tests to confirm the robustness in the control plane implementation.

• Transfer design, tools and test knowledge to manufacturing and field installation teams. Review, replicate, and respond to customer issues. Perform analysis of logs from customer runs. Debug and isolate system-level issues down to various subsystems.

Requirements

• Bachelors in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering with a minimum of 7 years of related experience, or Masters with a minimum of 5 years of related experience, or PhD with a minimum of 1 years of related experience
