As a Senior Post-Silicon PCIe Characterization Engineer on the Chandler Characterization team, you will validate and characterize next-generation Arm SoCs to help customers bring products to market. You will focus on characterizing silicon across process, voltage, temperature, and frequency conditions while collaborating with engineering teams to analyze results, debug issues, and improve performance. Your daily responsibilities include developing system-level stress workloads for Linux and Bare-Metal environments, creating test plans, and implementing tests to characterize silicon at the system level. You will utilize C/C++, Arm assembly, Python, and scripting languages while using protocol analyzers, scopes, and debuggers. The role requires expertise in PCIe architecture, including link initialization, training, equalization, and PHY operation. You will address technical challenges involving voltage and frequency margining, signal integrity, and high-speed interfaces like PCIe Gen4, Gen5, and Gen6.
