Staff Engineer, PCIe Silicon Enablement

The role

This person will drive PCIe silicon enablement from pre-silicon planning through first-silicon bring-up and product support. They will develop enablement plans, firmware, and automation for controller, PHY, board, SoC, and SiP levels.

What you will do

• Drive PCIe silicon enablement across controller, PHY, board, SoC, and SiP levels.
• Develop enablement plans, firmware, tests, automation, and reusable infrastructure.
• Bring up and integrate PCIe root-complex and endpoint behavior.
• Debug failures across hardware, firmware, and software using lab tools.
• Collaborate across architecture, design, verification, firmware, systems, and product teams.
• Define a PCIe enablement roadmap and production-readiness criteria.
• Mentor engineers.
• Turn post-silicon learning into improvements in designs, firmware, and processes.

Required qualifications

• Extensive PCIe experience across hardware, software, and systems.
• Strong grasp of architecture and protocol behavior including link training and LTSSM, enumeration, configuration space, resets, and error recovery.
• Ability to develop and debug low-level firmware, automation, and reusable infrastructure for complex silicon systems.
• Experience with PCIe controller and PHY bring-up.
• Hands-on in the lab using oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, exercisers, JTAG, and trace tools.
• Understanding of how PCIe integrates with platform firmware and software including UEFI/BIOS, operating-system drivers, DMA, interrupts, and IOMMUs.

Benefits

• Highly competitive compensation package and benefits

Before you apply

• Offer is contingent upon being eligible to access U.S. export-controlled technology.
