Job description

There are no layers, no approval chains, no corporate theater.

  • If you have an idea, we test it. If it works, we ship it.
  • No endless meetings, no PowerPoint presentations to convince middle management., * Develop and maintain complete SoC virtual platforms using Virtualizer Platform
  • Integrate SoCs using a combination of RTL, SystemC/TLM models, processor models, memory models, and peripheral models.
  • Develop validation scenarios to verify architectural correctness, boot flows, data movement, and key system use cases.
  • Enable early firmware and software development before RTL and silicon availability.
  • Debug complex issues spanning architecture, RTL, SystemC models, firmware, and software.
  • Collaborate with Architecture, RTL, Design Verification, and Firmware teams to validate architectural intent and improve overall system quality.
  • Develop reusable methodologies, automation, and best practices for virtual platform development.

Requirements

If you’re reading this, you’re probably comfortable. You have a good job at a stable company with all the benefits., We are seeking an experienced Virtual Platform Development Lead to develop and own the virtual platform for next-generation SoCs targeting AI, HPC, and Networking applications. This role will leverage existing Virtualizer Platform tools to enable early architecture validation, hardware/software co-development, firmware development, and software bring-up well before silicon availability.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience building complete SoC virtual platforms using a combination of RTL and SystemC/TLM models, and will work closely with architecture, design, verification, and firmware teams to accelerate product development and improve first-pass silicon success., * 10+ years of semiconductor design experience.

  • Strong hands-on experience with Synopsys Virtualizer.
  • Experience integrating complete SoCs using RTL and SystemC/TLM models.
  • Strong knowledge of C/C++, SystemC, and transaction-level modeling.
  • Good understanding of SoC architecture and hardware/software co-design.
  • Experience with high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, UCIe, and Ethernet. Knowledge of DDR/HBM memory interfaces is a plus.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.

Key Attributes

  • Strong system-level thinking and debugging skills.
  • Passion for building scalable and reusable virtual platforms.
  • High ownership with a focus on quality and first-pass silicon success.
  • Excellent collaboration across architecture, design, verification, firmware, and software teams.

Success Metrics

  • Early availability of virtual platforms for architecture validation and software development.
  • High-quality, reusable virtual platform infrastructure across multiple SoC programs.
  • Faster firmware and software readiness with reduced integration issues.
  • Improved first-pass silicon success through early system validation.

Benefits & conditions

The AI infrastructure market is exploding. Every hyperscaler, every cloud provider, every AI company is building custom silicon. But they all face the same problem: how do you connect hundreds of chips, deliver clean power at scale, and move terabits of data without melting the package?

That’s what we solve. TYLsemi builds the chiplet infrastructure IP - the IO, power delivery, and interconnect building blocks - that makes AI/HPC systems actually work at scale., * The market is real. AI infrastructure spending is $200B+ annually and growing 40% YoY. Every hyperscaler needs what we’re building.

  • The team has done this before. We’ve built and exited semiconductor companies at scale. This isn’t our first rodeo.
  • The traction is de-risked. We have LOIs, strategic investors, and a clear path to revenue.
  • The work is consequential. You’re not optimizing someone’s ad click-through rate. You’re building the silicon infrastructure that powers AI.

This is the bet. Join us and build something that matters.

Or stay comfortable. No judgment.

But if you’re the kind of person who wants to take the shot, we’d love to talk., The compensation range shown below represents total target cash compensation and includes both base salary and target bonus. Actual compensation will vary based on factors such as experience, skills, qualifications, job level, and work location.

In addition to cash compensation, this position is eligible for equity in the form of stock options, giving you the opportunity to share in the Company’s long-term growth and success. FULL_TIME Organization https://startup.jobs/logos/56232 TYLsemi None Startups Place
