and implementation
Proven experience working with PCIe on FPGAs (end-to-end
integration)
Deep understanding of high-speed SerDes architectures and signal
integrity challenges
Strong background in MAC / PCS / PMA layers
Expert-level proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL design Experience with timing closure in high-frequency FPGA designs

Key
Responsibilities

Design and implement FPGA-based logic for high-speed communication
systems
Develop and optimize PCIe interfaces on FPGA platforms
Integrate and configure high-speed transceivers (GTY/GTM / E-Tile,
etc.)
Perform timing closure, debugging, and hardware validation
Optimize MAC/PCS layers for low latency and high throughput
Collaborate with system architects and board designers

Preferred
Qualifications

Experience with UCIe, CXL, or high-speed Ethernet (400G/800G) Exposure to lab bring-up, debugging tools, and signal analysis
Background working in companies like **Cadence Design Systems,
Siemens, Intel, or Marvell Technology
