As a Staff PCIe Analog Characterization Engineer, you will join an engineering-focused team to validate and characterize groundbreaking silicon products across PCIe Gen5 through Gen7. You will be responsible for the electrical validation and compliance testing of PCIe interfaces, ensuring they meet PCI-SIG requirements while delivering high performance. Your daily work involves conducting TX and RX compliance measurements, performing eye diagrams, jitter analysis, and equalization verification. You will also debug electrical, interoperability, and link training issues while developing comprehensive validation plans and technical reports. To succeed, you must possess expertise in high-speed serial interfaces, signal integrity, and the use of high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, BERTs, protocol analyzers, and network analyzers. Proficiency in Python or similar languages for test automation is also valued as you collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to solve complex engineering problems in high-speed I/O validation.
