Senior Manager, Processor Modeling R&D

Job Description:

Virtual Prototypes are simulation models for a variety of electronic platforms in the automotive, enterprise, telecommunications or cloud market today. Our Virtual Prototyping team delivers these models to our worldwide customers and enables them to start with product development long before hardware is available.

In your role of Senior R&D Manager Processor Modelling , you will:

• Lead the team developing high-performance instruction accurate models of RISC-V, RH850, TriCore and Arm CPUs and System Level IP models
• Develop Virtual Platforms for testing
• Integrate instruction accurate models and platforms from Synopsys partners
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of Synopsys modelling methodologies.
• Configure and bring up complex software stacks and drivers on the simulated hardware
• Work closely with other development teams, 3rd party suppliers, support engineers and customers to identify, implement and deliver solutions
• Interact with Synopsys development teams working on other modelling technologies, advanced architectures, hardware design, software design, and validation

Key Requirements/Qualifications:

• Good programming skills in C and C++
• Scripting Languages, preferably Python
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
• University degree (min. B.E/B/Tech or M.Tech) in Computer Science / Electronics or similar with 12+ years industry experience

Useful to Have:

• Understanding of CPU architecture and familiarity with one or more CPU instruction sets
• Experience with RISC-V/RH850/Arm CPUs and/or knowledge of RISC-V/RH850/Arm architecture is an advantage
• Embedded knowledge, and ability to interpret H/W device specifications
• Knowledge of System Architectures including OS kernel internals
• SystemC and transaction-level modelling knowledge would be beneficial but not essential, as would familiarity with high performance modeling (Dynamic Binary Translation (DBT), Just In Time (JIT) code morphing)
