We are looking for a Post-Silicon Validation Engineer with strong hands-on experience in PCIe link bring-up, physical-layer debug, and silicon validation. Engineer will work closely with Design, Architecture, Firmware, Software, Engineering teams.
Key Responsibilities
Perform hands-on post-silicon validation.
Debug PCIe link issues including link training, LTSSM, equalization, recovery, resets, and link stability.
Analyze PCIe state-machine traces, protocol traces, registers, logs, eye diagrams, and lab measurements.
Drive complex issues from initial failure through root-cause analysis and final resolution.
Work closely with silicon, firmware, software, architecture, and signal-integrity engineers to isolate issues across HW/FW/SW boundaries.
Validate PCIe functionality across different generations, platforms, configurations, and operating conditions.
Develop and execute PCIe validation plans, stress tests, corner-case scenarios, and interoperability tests.
Develop automation to improve validation coverage, debug efficiency, and regression testing.
Requirements: Required Qualifications
BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
5+ years of engineering experience in silicon validation, post-silicon debug, or high-speed interface development.
Strong hands-on knowledge of PCIe architecture and protocol.
Experience working with PCIe analyzers, state traces, registers, logs, eye diagrams, and/or signal-integrity measurements.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to independently drive issues to root cause.
Experience working across hardware, firmware, and software boundaries.
Good scripting/programming skills, preferably Python.
Good Linux knowledge and experience with Linux PCIe debug tools.
Strong communication and collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with PCIe Gen4/Gen5/Gen6/Gen7
Hands-on experience with PCIe PHY, SerDes, equalization, lane margining, or signal integrity.
Experience with PCIe compliance and interoperability testing.
Experience debugging intermittent, marginal, thermal-sensitive, or corner-case PCIe failures.
Experience with PCIe switches, or networking/accelerator platforms.
Practical experience using AI/ML tools for engineering debug and automation.
This position is open to all candidates.
