Software Virtual Platform/Simulation Sr. Engineer

Qualcomm•Santa Clara, CA

5d•$129,300 - $193,900

About The Position

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. 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.

Responsibilities

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.
Works independently with minimal supervision.
Provides supervision/guidance to other team members.
Decision-making is critical in nature and highly impacts program, product, or project success.
Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information. May require negotiation, influence, tact, etc.
Has a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions (e.g., is consulted by senior leadership to make key decisions).
Tasks often require multiple steps which can be performed in various orders; extensive planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
