  • Minimum 5 years' experience supporting or developing complex SoC/silicon products for Server, Storage, and/or Networking applications.
  • Experience developing firmware to execute in on-chip microcontrollers as well as C-language software development kits (SDKs) to execute on system management controllers (e.g. BMC).
  • Experience working with logic designers to architect and verify HW-SW interfaces on complex SoCs.
  • Professional attitude with the ability to prioritize a dynamic list of multiple tasks, to plan and prepare for customer meetings in advance, and to work with minimal guidance and supervision.
  • Entrepreneurial, open-minded behavior and can-do attitude. Think and act fast with the customer in mind!
  • Authorized to work in the US and start immediately.

Required Experience
  • Experience working on PCIe-Express (Gen-3 and above) protocol, including working with analyzers and exercisers to debug protocol issues.
  • High level of proficiency in C (preferred) or C++, including development of C-based SDKs.
  • High level of proficiency in Python for automating pre-processors/post-processors and FW QC.
  • Working knowledge of software/firmware build environments, gcc/Make, Doxygen, and GitHub.
  • Familiarity with SoC interfaces to common IP blocks such as PCIe Controllers, DDR Controllers, NVME Controllers, AMBA/AHB interfaces, on-chip memory interfaces, and other similar interfaces.

Preferred Experience
  • Experience with PAM4 SerDes with working knowledge of Tx/Rx equalization, adaptation, CDR and SerDes link budgets.
  • Hands-on experience with PCIe devices in Server, Storage, and/or Networking equipment.
  • Experience developing embedded firmware for PCIe or Ethernet Switch products.

Base salary range is $160,000 to $200,000 depending on experience, level, and business need. This role is eligible for discretionary bonus, incentives and benefits.
