Senior Platform Engineer

pZürich, Switzerlandbr/bSeniority /b: 6+ years relevant industry experience /p pJoin Synthara’s software team and own the virtual platforms for ComputeRAM®. These platforms serve as reference systems for pre-silicon software prototyping and HW/SW co-verification. They must be accurate, usable, and continuously validated. You sit between hardware and software. Your job is to make both sides work together and expose issues early. /p h3bWhat you’ll do /b /h3 ul liBuild and maintain full-system simulation platforms: ComputeRAM® + MCU cores + interconnect + DMA + peripherals, using SystemC, FPGA, VCS, Renode /li liWork with Hardware to: Integrate RTL models into simulators and develop low-level firmware for hardware validation and stress testing /li liWork with Software to: Provide stable development targets and enable bring-up, debugging, and performance evaluation /li liDevelop: Low-level drivers and system bring-up code and reference firmware for validation and demos /li liOwn verification infrastructure: Firmware-based test suites, cross-platform validation and CI/CD pipelines for continuous testing /li liProactively identify and resolve HW/SW integration issues /li liEvaluate and introduce new tools and methodologies for platform development /li /ul h3bTools Technologies /b /h3 ul liProgramming and Modeling: SystemVerilog, C, C++, SystemC, Python /li liFPGA prototyping: AMD/Xilinx platforms and Vivado /li liRTL simulation: Synopsys VCS /li liVirtual Platform System simulation: Renode, Synopsys Platform /li liArchitect Development Automation: Git, GitHub, CI/CD,GitHub Actions /li /ul h3bOutcomes (first 12–18 months) /b /h3 ul liUsable, well-documented virtual platforms for software development /li liConsistent execution of the same firmware across VCS, FPGA, and Renode /li liFirmware-based verification covering key system behaviours /li liCI infrastructure that flags HW/SW integration issues early /li liReduced time-to-bring-up for new platform configurations /li liReliable reference environment for internal teams and customers /li /ul h3bProfile /b /h3 ul liStrong embedded systems background (C/C++, firmware, drivers) /li liExperience with simulators, FPGA prototyping, and system bring-up /li liComfortable working across HW/SW boundaries /li liDebugs at system level, not just component level /li liBias for ownership and problem resolution /li /ul h3bWhat success looks like /b /h3 pAny change in hardware or software can be validated quickly on a full-system platform, and issues are caught already at simulation stage. /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
