Hiring: Emulation Engineer, Hardware Prototyping (HAPS) Company: Etched Location: San Jose, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-16 18:19:14 Target Skills & Keywords : Assembly, C, C++, FPGA, Firmware, Linux, Python, Shell, SystemVerilog, Verilog About the job Required Skills: •Own HAPS bring-up. Take RTL from the design teams and get it running on the prototype — partitioning, multi-FPGA timing closure, clocking, memory mapping, and full-chip assembly. •Expand platform coverage. Stand up new subsystem configurations so more of the chip is available to software earlier. Each new partition you enable unblocks a team. •Support your users. Firmware, driver, and software engineers are your customers. You'll help them get running, triage their failures, and figure out whether the bug is theirs, the RTL's, or the platform's. •Debug hard problems. Trace issues across FPGA boundaries with waveform capture, protocol analyzers, and whatever tooling you have to build yourself. •Bring up interfaces. PCIe, Ethernet, HBM and memory models, JTAG, I2C, UART, QSPI — both the models and the physical bridges. •Build the flows. Automate builds, regressions, and image delivery so the platform scales past the number of people who understand it. •Work across the org. Design, DV, Silicon Validation, Performance, Firmware, and Software — plus direct partnership with Synopsys on tool issues and platform capability. •Bring up a new subsystem partition on HAPS and get firmware booting on it end to end. Compensation: •$150,000 - $275,000 / year •Medical, dental, and vision packages with generous premium coverage Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
