System-on-Chip Design Engineer

Comprehensive Resources Inc
San Jose, CA

Job Title : SOC Engineer With UFS EXP

Location : San Jose, CA

Client : Tesla

Key skills: Zebu, FPGA ,UFS , ARM


  • Develop and execute verification test plans for UFS host IP within a System-on-Chip (SoC) environment using tools like emulation platforms (Veloce, ZEBU, HAPs).
  • Debug failures using waveform viewers and log files to isolate and root cause issues in UFS protocols and bus interconnects
  • Create prepost silicon Validation C bases Test content .
  • Enable firmware-driven validation on emulation platforms to integrate UFS driver-level software with hardware.
  • Validate that UFS IP meets power, performance, and throughput specifications (e.g., UFS 3.x/4.x/5.x)

Capture and analyze waveforms on Zebu (or similar emulation platforms) to root‑cause design and integration issues.


8 years of experience

  • Deep understanding of UFS standards (UFS host controller interface
  • Create pre/post silicon Validation C bases Test content
  • Strong scripting skills in Python, Perl, or TCL for automation
  • Hands-on experience with hardware emulation (Zebu/Veloce) and FPGA prototyping.
  • Validating how the UFS IP interacts with other SoC components, including the southbridge, memory controllers, and bus interconnects (e.g., AXI, AHB).
  • Identifying and fixing RTL bugs in a pre-silicon environment using waveform viewers (e.g., Verdi) and log files
  • Ensuring the UFS IP correctly implements features like data encryption, power management, and high-speed data transfer (M-PHY/UniPro).
  • Developing performance models (often in SystemC/TLM) to analyze and optimize the storage subsystem's throughput and latency.
  • Develop and execute test plans in C to validate the Features
