Virtual Platform Hardware Modeling Engineer

Summary:Meta Reality Labs focuses on delivering Meta's vision through Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) devices and platforms. The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of these devices require custom silicon. Reality Labs Silicon team is driving the state of the art forward with breakthrough work in computer vision, machine learning, mixed reality, graphics, displays, sensors, and new ways to map the human body.We are seeking a modeling Engineer to develop high-level models of complex SoC hardware. The virtual platforms combine models of custom hardware accelerators for vision, 2D and 3D graphics, machine learning and more, within a multi-core, multi-level memory hierarchy SoC architecture, and serve as the primary simulation vehicle for system software and firmware. The candidate should be proficient in hardware simulation using C++, and understand the firmware development processes.Required Skills:Virtual Platform Hardware Modeling Engineer Responsibilities:Design and develop SystemC TLM models to accurately represent the SoC architecture integrating emulated processors, DSPs, Network-on-Chip, DMA and memory controllers, etcIntegrate first-party and vendor models into the Virtual Platform, develop automated workflows to ensure register-level accuracy and complete connectivity at the SoC level, minimizing manual intervention and enabling continuous integrationCollaborate with silicon architects, digital designers and verification engineers to design and develop high-fidelity, fast C++ models for first-party IPCoordinate virtual platforms with hardware development programs, validating multiple SoCs and architectural changes with system software and firmware engineering, enabling end-to-end silicon validation test frameworksEnhance the virtual platforms to enable SoC and system architecture exploration by instrumenting models for power and performance metrics, allowing for data-driven design decisions and trade-off analysis to optimize system performance and power consumptionMinimum Qualifications:Minimum Qualifications:Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
