• Strong programming experience in C, C++, Rust, or similar low-level languages
• Experience developing or working extensively with simulators, emulators, or virtual hardware environments
• Hands-on experience with technologies such as gem5, QEMU, Spike, Verilator, or similar platforms
• Strong understanding of instruction set architectures, processors, accelerators, and memory systems
• Experience modeling hardware behavior, execution environments, or performance characteristics
• Familiarity with GPUs, AI accelerators, custom silicon, or high-performance computing architectures
• Experience debugging complex hardware/software interactions
• Understanding of compilers, runtimes, firmware, device drivers, or other low-level systems software is valuable
• Experience with RTL, Verilog/SystemVerilog, or hardware design workflows is a plus
