TL;DR · PCIe / CXL and HSIO Validation Engineer

PCIe / CXL and HSIO Validation Engineer will join the datacenter CPU post silicon validation team to focus on highspeed IO, including PCI Express, Compute Express Link, multi-socket, and inter-die interfaces. The principal level role involves developing and executing feature enablement and validation test plans for SoC and system-level features across server products. Responsibilities include creating test content for stress testing, building post-silicon validation infrastructure involving software, hardware, and automation, and performing root-cause analysis for SoC issues. Candidates should possess expertise in PCIe Gen5/6+, CXL, UCIe, and x86 microprocessor architecture. Required skills include proficiency in C/C++, Python, or Perl; experience with Linux and Windows operating systems; and mastery of lab equipment like protocol analyzers and oscilloscopes. The role addresses critical technical challenges in high-speed interconnects and server platform architectures to ensure high-quality product delivery.

What you'll do

  • Develop and execute feature enablement and validation test plans for high-speed IO across server products.
  • Create test content for both focused testing and system-level stress testing of the IO domain.
  • Build post-silicon validation infrastructure including software, hardware, automation environments, and lab setups.
  • Test interactions between various SoC features using specialized validation infrastructure.
  • Debug and perform root-cause analysis for complex SoC-related issues.
  • Develop tools in collaboration with cross-functional teams to improve SoC validation and debugging.
  • Improve post-silicon validation test strategies, methodologies, and processes.

What we're looking for

  • A Bachelor's degree in BSEE/CSE/CS with 7+ years of experience is required.
  • A Master's degree in MSEE/CSE/CS with 5+ years of experience is required.
  • Proven hands-on experience in SoC design or validation of high-speed IO interfaces.
  • Experience with PCIe Gen5/6+, CXL, UCIe, or proprietary inter-die and multi-socket server interfaces.
  • Knowledge of modern x86 microprocessor architecture and Server platform architecture.
  • Proficiency in programming or scripting languages such as C/C++, Python, or Perl.
  • Extensive experience with lab equipment including protocol/logic analyzers and oscilloscopes.
  • Experience in board/platform-level debug, including delivery, sequencing, analysis, and optimization.
