Staff Engineer

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 new Software Engineer, Processor Modelling role you will:
Work in a team environment developing high-performance instruction accurate models of Arm CPUs and System Level IP models Develop Virtual Platforms for testing 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 Based in central Edinburgh with some working from home allowed.

5+ Years experience in a software development role
Good programming skills in C and C++ Scripting Languages, preferably Python BS or MS) in Computer Science / Electronics or similar 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)
Self-driving cars.
Artificial Intelligence.
And we're powering it all with the world's most advanced technologies for chip design and software security.
Our Silicon Design & Verification business is all about building high-performance silicon chips—faster.
And we design the next-generation processes and models needed to manufacture those chips.
We enable our customers to optimize chips for power, cost, and performance—eliminating months off their project schedules.
