Job Description

Take lead responsibility for validating PCIe and its subsystems on multiple SoC platforms.
Define comprehensive test plans and execute tests covering memory training procedures, performance benchmarks, stress scenarios, timing margin analysis, and overall reliability.
Collaborate with design and firmware teams to develop, integrate, and debug firmware essential for PCIe training.
Write necessary firmware components (like bootloaders, PCIe drivers, test hooks) to enable testing.
Integrate and debug firmware for PCIe initialization and training, specifically on systems using RISC-V or ARM processors.
Work closely with software and hardware teams to ensure firmware and hardware components interact correctly.
Coordinate with board and Signal/Power Integrity (SI/PI) teams for related evaluations.
Utilize standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, BERTs, power analyzers) for test execution, data collection, and troubleshooting memory-related issues.
Perform root cause analysis for failures.
Develop scripts (Python, Perl, C/C++) to automate test procedures and validation workflows.
5 to 8 years of experience
5+ years of SOC validation experience
At least 4 years of experience in post-silicon PCIe subsystem validation
Strong C/C++ programming skills, particularly for low-level code (like hardware abstraction layers) used in system bring-up.
Proven experience integrating and debugging firmware in PCIe validation or general SoC environments.
Deep understanding of PCIe protocols (Physical, Data Link, Transaction layers), PCIe Gen 4/5/6, and CXL
Experience with silicon bring-up processes and Hands-on experience with PCIe protocol analyzers and oscilloscopes.
Familiarity with embedded operating systems and the typical boot sequences.
System-level PCIe performance tuning and characterisation.
Experience with Linux and Windows operating systems
