Lead emulation of complex networking subsystems and SoCs for data center, cloud, and enterprise infrastructure. Define emulation strategy, bring up and deploy designs on ZeBu, Veloce, and Palladium, and build reusable emulation environments and transactors. Enable firmware boot and system-level workloads for hardware-software co-verification, then execute end-to-end validation for Ethernet, PCIe, DMA, RDMA, packet processing, throughput, latency, and QoS—driving debug, regression health, and validation closure.
