The candidate should have ability to work effectively with both internal and external teams/stakeholders. Should possess strong problem solving/communication skills. Should be a very good team player.


1. The only person specialized in Emulation within VTG has resigned, and this area is essential for handling complex IPU debugging tasks.
2. Without immediate replacement, our capacity to address critical debugging issues is diminished, potentially leading to longer resolution times.
3. Bringing in a new expert is essential, not only to fill the immediate gap but also to cultivate and maintain a high level of expertise within the team, ensuring that complex issues can be handled efficiently.
4. The required skillset is highly specialized, and team members without prior experience in this area are unable to manage these tasks.
5. A lack of in-house expertise in Emulation could adversely affect key projects, including PTL/NVL and TTL.
6. A new Emulation expert can provide targeted training and mentorship to existing team members, thereby gradually expanding our internal skillset.
