About the job
Drives PCIe silicon enablement from pre-silicon planning through bring-up and product support, developing firmware, tests, automation, and infrastructure while debugging system-level issues.
What you'll do
- Lead PCIe enablement across controller, PHY, board, SoC, and SiP, including first-silicon bring-up and product support.
- Develop enablement plans, firmware, tests, automation, and reusable infrastructure for functional behavior, performance, compliance, interoperability, and error recovery.
- Debug hardware, firmware, and software failures; define enablement roadmaps and production-readiness criteria, mentor engineers, and drive root-cause closure.
What they ask for
- Extensive PCIe experience across hardware, software, and systems, including architecture and protocol behavior.
- Experience with low-level firmware, automation, and reusable infrastructure for silicon systems and PCIe controller/PHY bring-up.
- Hands-on lab debugging skills using tools such as oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, exercisers, JTAG, and trace tools.
- Understanding of PCIe integration with UEFI/BIOS, operating-system drivers, DMA, interrupts, and IOMMUs.
