As the HSIO Validation Lead – Silicon Co-Design, you will join the Silicon Co-Design Group to manage the critical boundary between design and production for high-speed interfaces. You will own post-silicon bring-up, characterization, validation, and debug of PCIe, NVLink, C2C, and other HSIO interfaces across GPUs, CPUs, and SoCs. Your daily work involves resolving complex failures by analyzing protocol behavior, signal integrity, firmware, driver interactions, and silicon marginalities. You will define validation strategies, set test coverage, and build AI agents for automated debug triage and data pipelines. To succeed, you must possess deep expertise in PCIe, NVLink, CXL, Ethernet, or USB, alongside proficiency with oscilloscopes, BERTs, and protocol analyzers. This role solves the technical challenge of ensuring reliable high-speed data movement across complex multi-device system topologies to prevent customer escapes and ensure production readiness.
