Design Enablement Engineer II

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology. Key responsibilities Leverage silicon verification platform and environment to create necessary post-silicon infrastructure, methodology and automation to allow tests executed in a timely and efficient manner. Integrate silicon, HW, firmware, and system software into a complete system which includes various InfiniBand and PCIe protocols, PXE booting, virtual machines, secure networks, Ethernet and Ethernet-over-InfiniBand, sockets and RPC calls, FPGA, microcontroller interfaces, JTAG, I2C, SPI, SERDES, memory and many other interfaces. Execute post-silicon tests to expose design issues, validate product against the specifications including performance, and qualify the design for production release. Review, replicate, and respond to customer issues. Perform initial analysis of error logs from customer design simulation runs. Debug and isolate system-level issues down to ASIC/FPGAs, host servers, subsystems, firmware modules, runtime diagnostics. Develop silicon and system stress tests. Leverage tests developed by other engineers. Package tests for production and field use. Define, develop and drive the implementation of validation automation environment Requirement Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering. Master’s degree preferred. Must be proficient in one or more of the following disciplines – silicon simulation, silicon design, HW design, firmware design, silicon bring-up, system bring-up, HW/SW debug, verification and validation. Fluent in at least one functional scripting language, preferably but not limited to Python. Other languages are plus. Experience with embedded software/firmware, operating systems, and/or HW/SW interfaces is a plus Experience in developing, maintaining and operating automated engineering processes is a big plus.
