The Server IO Specialist joins the CPU Engineering team to drive the architecture through commercialization of end-to-end server solutions. This role involves defining and documenting IO architecture requirements, collaborating with IP design and performance teams to optimize PPA trade-offs, and communicating technical solutions to silicon, system, and software stakeholders. The position focuses on high-performance, low-power designs at advanced process nodes for datacenter SoCs. Key responsibilities include managing the hardware stack from transport to physical layers and addressing requirements for coherent IO subsystems. Candidates will work with PCIe, CXL, and UAL technologies while utilizing knowledge of IOMMU/SMMU architecture, multi-socket links like UPI or Infinity fabrics, and confidential compute technologies such as TDISP. Technical expertise includes ARM ISA specifications, CHI, GIC, and high-speed interconnects like PCIe Gen5-7 to solve complex datacenter connectivity problems.
