• Liaise with hardware engineers to identify and review requirements and specifications for the hardware being emulated.
• Guide the development, automation, test, integration, and administration of emulation strategies and technologies.
• Create verification plans, test procedures, and test environments, executing test procedures and documenting results for emulation technologies.
• Lead the collection and analysis of in-use product data to design new or enhance existing products.
• Lead the identification, debugging, and resolution of issues to ensure the reliability and efficiency of software products.
• Advise on software domains related to emulation technologies.
• Guide the creation of policies, practices, and processes for emulation and virtualized resource management.
• Apply current and emerging technologies, tools, frameworks, and regulatory changes relevant to hardware emulation.
• Support hardware emulation project management activities.

What We’re Looking For

• 7+ years of experience in testing or programming software written in C or C++.
