As a senior software engineer on Broadcom’s optical physical layer products team, you will design and develop low-level drivers for Ethernet, PCIe, and FlexE PHY chip sets. Your daily tasks include coding, reviewing test plans, maintaining SDK branches, and converting customer requirements into API definitions. You’ll work with C/C++ to create high-quality code, perform static analysis, and debug complex issues in a pre-silicon/RTL co-simulation environment. Familiarity with PCIe retimers, switches, and IEEE 802.3 standards is essential, as is experience with Linux/VxWorks or similar operating systems. This role requires strong communication skills to interact with customers and collaborate across teams to identify key features for future products.
