Senior Firmware Engineer
VergeSense
Our Company The workplace has undergone a complete transformation. Historically, occupancy was consistent; everyone worked in the office five days per week. But in today’s world, occupancy is inconsistent, unpredictable, and dynamic, as work has become more flexible than ever before. To make decisions with confidence, workplace, CRE, and facilities management leaders need a true understanding of how and when their spaces are used. VergeSense is the company behind the world’s first and only Occupancy Intelligence Platform. Over 220 companies across 50 countries and 140M sqft rely on occupancy intelligence to make confident, fact-based optimization decisions to improve employee experience and decrease costs. VergeSense customers use our Occupancy Intelligence Platform, which is built on a foundation of the industry's most accurate occupancy sensors and other data sources, to right-size their portfolio, validate space planning and designs, optimize cleaning operations, and ensure their teams can always find spaces to work.

Positron CorporationEqual Opportunity Employer. If you’re excited about the role but don’t meet every bullet, we’d still love to hear from you.
This description is a summary of our understanding of the job description. Click on 'Apply' button to find out more. Role Description At Positron.ai, we are redefining the efficiency of AI Inference. As our Emulation Lead, you will be the architect of our pre-silicon validation strategy. You will take full ownership of our Cadence Palladium Z3 environment, bridging the gap between hardware design and system software. This is a high-impact role where you will build a specialized team to ensure our silicon is battle-tested and our software stack is production-ready long before the first chips return from the fab. Key Responsibilities - Ownership & Strategy: Define and execute the end-to-end emulation strategy for our next-generation AI Inference ASIC. - Infrastructure Management: - Oversee the complex, multi-site build process for emulation targets, ensuring design and software synchronization. - Manage builds and deployment of our Palladium Z3 cluster (hosted via Cadence Cloud). - Manage builds, job scheduling, and resource allocation. - Cross-Functional Synergy: Act as the primary technical bridge between the ASIC Design/DV teams and the System Software team. Ensure the emulation platform provides a high-fidelity environment for driver and compiler development. - Team Leadership: Recruit, mentor, and lead a lean, elite team of emulation specialists. - Environment Development: Oversee the creation of transactors, monitors, and complex testbenches. Drive the development of a comprehensive emulation testplan that targets both hardware bugs and software performance bottlenecks. - Debug & Analysis: Lead deep-dive debug sessions using Palladium’s advanced trace and capture capabilities to resolve complex SoC-level issues. Qualifications - 8+ years in ASIC/SoC verification or emulation, with at least 2+ years in a leadership or "Architect" capacity. - Deep, hands-on experience with Cadence Palladium systems (Z1, Z2, or Z3). Knowledge of the IXCOM/Dynamic Emulation interfaces is essential. - Proficiency in SystemVerilog/UVM for emulation-ready testbenches. - Strong understanding of high-speed interfaces (PCIe, CXL, DDR5) and AI-specific data flows. - Comfortable with scripting (Python, Tcl) to automate build flows and results analysis. - A proactive builder who prefers solving problems to filing tickets. You must be comfortable working in a fully remote, fast-paced environment. Requirements - Experience with AI/ML hardware accelerators or large-scale multi-core SoCs. - Familiarity with hybrid emulation (Virtual Platforms + Palladium). - Experience managing cloud-hosted hardware infrastructure. Benefits - Be part of a rapidly growing AI startup shaping the future of AI hardware. - Work on groundbreaking technology with a highly skilled and passionate team. - Competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits package. - Flexible work environment with remote work options.
