This role involves testing functionality, performance, and compliance across various configurations and use cases. Key responsibilities include creating and reviewing test scenarios, executing test activities, and reviewing design specifications to understand product functionality. The candidate must possess a system-level understanding of PCIe-based designs, specifically PCIe Gen3 and above, and have hands-on experience with Python programming for network and system-level automation. Technical requirements include knowledge of PCIe Config Space, Link Training, ACS, Hotplug, Virtualization, P2P, and BMC interaction. The role addresses technical challenges within AI/ML clusters and HPC environments, potentially involving GPU benchmarks, NVMe drives, and RoCE protocol testing for deep learning models.

What you'll do

  • Create and review comprehensive test scenarios and test cases for PCIe switch solutions.
  • Perform holistic validation of PCIe switch functionality, performance, and compliance across various configurations.
  • Execute test activities and review design and functional specifications provided by the development team.
  • Develop and utilize automation scripts in Python for network and system-level programming.
  • Review user documentation to ensure accurate representation of product functionality.
  • Prioritize and manage multiple parallel tasks, projects, and product releases.
  • Debug system-level issues and perform stress generation using storage tools and PCIe analyzers.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's of Engineering.
  • Minimum of 2 years of hands-on test experience.
  • Strong understanding of PCIe protocol Gen3 and above and system-level PCIe-based designs.
  • Experience testing PCIe Config Space, Link Training, ACS, Hotplug, Virtualization, P2P, BMC interaction, AER/DPC, and Backplanes.
  • Hands-on experience in Python programming for network and system-level automation scripts.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills.
  • Experience with AMD/NVIDIA GPUs, RCCL/NCCL, RoCM/CUDA, or NVMe drives (preferred).
  • Experience with PCIe test equipment, networking protocols like RoCE, or deep learning models (preferred).
