About the Role
Drive the bring-up, characterization, and debugging of next-generation Ethernet and PCIe Retimer chips, with a focus on advanced Ethernet physical layer (PHY) validation to ensure silicon meets rigorous IEEE networking standards and high-speed interoperability requirements.
Responsibilities
- Hands-on bring-up of multi-rate Retimer ICs.
- Validate Ethernet (100G/400G/800G) and PCIe (Gen 5/6) for IEEE and PCI-SIG compliance.
- Build Python-based automated test frameworks for Ethernet throughput, BER, and control path testing.
- Root-cause complex silicon, link training, and firmware bugs using protocol analyzers and traffic generators.
Requirements
- Expertise in Ethernet PHY architecture, PAM4/NRZ signaling, FEC (Forward Error Correction), Auto-Negotiation, and Link Training.
- Proficiency with high-bandwidth Oscilloscopes, BERTs, Ethernet Traffic Generators/Network Analyzers (e.g., Ixia, Spirent), and PCIe Analyzers.
- Strong Python for lab automation and data analysis.
- C/C++ for low-level register manipulation.
