We make the best chips physically possible for the large model needs of frontier labs.
About the role
Define and execute emulation strategy and test plans for complex connectivity SoCs. Bring up and debug large-scale models on commercial emulation platforms such as Cadence Palladium, Zebu or Veloce.
What they're looking for
- Strong hands-on experience with SoC emulation or system-level validation
- Experience with at least one commercial emulation platform, such as Palladium
- Working Verilog/SystemVerilog and waveform-debug skills — enough to develop a custom transactor or agent when needed (with or without AI assistance). Deep RTL design expertise is not required
- Strong software and automation skills — Python plus one or more of C, C++, Rust, Tcl, or shell
- Demonstrated ability to build tools and infrastructure, not just run existing flows
- Strong system-level debug instincts spanning RTL, firmware, and software
More about this role
MatX is on a mission to be the compute platform for AGI. We are developing vertically integrated full-stack solutions from silicon to systems including hardware and software to train and run the largest ML workloads for AGI. MatX is seeking Emulation engineers to join our team as we create best-in-class silicon for high-performance and sustainable GenAI. Successful candidates for these roles will be responsible for delivering performant and functionally accurate silicon for MatX products across compute, memory management. High-speed connectivity and other key technologies.
We're hiring a Senior/Staff Emulation Engineer to build the infrastructure, flows, and debug methodology behind our advanced connectivity SoCs. The role sits in the Emulation team, but the impact is broader: you'll create reusable flows that span emulation, SoC simulation, firmware/software bring-up, and post-silicon validation.
We're looking for a multi-disciplinary engineer with an out-of-the-box, can-do mindset — someone who sees a gap and builds the bridge, comfortable moving between RTL, software, tooling, system debug, and vendor flows. You don't need to be an expert in every area listed below. You do need...
