About this role
Job Title: PCIe expert
Location: Milpitas, CA- Onsite
Mode of Hire: Contract
Job Description:
We need people in chip design (VLSI) with PCIe experience
The following is our expectation about PCIe expert.
He/she should have direct PCIe Gen 6 experience. If the person knows Synopsys PCIe PHY and Controller will be even better.
The expert should have at least 10 years of experience with UVM methodology and gone through quite a few successful tape out with working silicon.
- We are looking for a high-caliber engineer with rich PCIe experience to own the end-to-end system design for our next-generation NVMe SSD product lines. You will bridge the gap between ASIC/SoC integration, firmware architecture, and platform interoperability.
Core Responsibilities:
Architecture & Design: Own the system-level PCIe Gen5/Gen6 architecture from an endpoint perspective, including PHY/MAC review and SoC integration.
Driver & Firmware Leadership: Serve as a technical lead for high-performance PCIe kernel-mode drivers (Linux/Windows) and define firmware guidelines for robust link training (LTSSM) and power management.
Complex Topologies: Architect driver logic for sophisticated hardware setups involving external PCIe switches and multiple endpoints.
Validation & Debug: Lead system-level triage for PCIe behaviors, including AER (Advanced Error Reporting), reset flows, and interoperability across diverse host platforms.
Compliance: Ensure full adherence to PCI-SIG standards and NVMe specifications during bring-up and qualification.
Mentorship: Provide technical direction and mentor junior engineers, fostering a culture of excellence in low-level software and high-speed design.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
Education: Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field.
Protocol Expertise: Deep knowledge of PCIe Gen5/Gen6, NVMe, and high-speed interface solutions like SerDes.
Programming: Proficient in C/C++ for embedded systems and Python for test automation and triage.
Lab Proficiency: Hands-on experience with protocol analyzers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers for hardware/firmware debug.
Architecture: Strong understanding of SoC/ASIC registers, power domains, and sideband signaling.
