## About the role

A SystemC/TLM-2.0 virtual platform — MCU (ISS-backed) + peripherals + memory map + a UCIe transactor + host stub — that firmware runs on pre-RTL. Architecture/performance models : architectural trade studies, end-to-end datapath throughput and latency, FIFO/buffer sizing, design-space/configuration exploration.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years in architecture/performance modelling or virtual-platform development for complex SoCs
- Strong SystemC and TLM-2.0, solid modern C++
- Built or led a virtual platform / ESL model that real firmware ran on for pre-silicon bring-up
- Integrating a third-party ISS (e.g., Arm or RISC-V) into a SystemC/TLM platform, modelling buses, memory maps, and peripherals
- Architecture/performance modelling judgment — knowing what to abstract versus model faithfully
- Comfortable spanning hardware micro-architecture and embedded software
