• Own end-to-end integration of PCIe IP into complex ASIC designs. 

• Collaborate with IP vendors, architecture, verification, physical design, and software teams to deliver robust PCIe subsystems. 

• Drive performance optimization efforts across the PCIe stack, from PHY tuning to DMA/transaction layer efficiency. 

• Contribute to system architecture and microarchitecture discussions with a focus on IO and interconnect scalability. 

• Lead silicon bring-up and validation of PCIe links in the lab; work closely with board and firmware teams. 

• Debug functional and performance issues at RTL, gate-level, and silicon. 

• Ensure compliance with PCIe specifications and participate in interoperability testing where needed. 

• Provide mentorship to junior engineers and help define PCIe subsystem development best practices. 

• Good understanding of high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for high-performance compute platforms 

Minimum Qualifications: 

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. 

• 10+ years of industry experience in ASIC/SoC design with a focus on PCIe controller integration. 

• Proven experience in silicon bring-up and debug of high-speed interfaces. 

• Solid understanding of PCIe protocol stack (PHY, MAC, TLP, DLL), configuration space, and link training. 

• Hands-on experience with PCIe verification environments, performance tuning, and power-aware design. 

• Familiarity with PCIe compliance testing, simulation tools (e.g., VCS, Questa), and lab equipment (e.g., protocol analyzers, oscilloscopes). 

• Strong scripting (Python, Perl, TCL) and debugging skills. 

• Strong verbal and written communication skills. 

Preferred Qualifications: 

• Experience with PCIe Gen5/Gen6 and advanced retimer or switch solutions. 

• Exposure to CXL, CCIX, or other cache-coherent interconnects. 

• Background in data center or AI/ML accelerator architectures. 

• Experience with emulation and prototyping platforms (e.g., ZeBu, Palladium, HAPS) for PCIe subsystem validation.
