About the Role

Cornelis Networks is seeking engineers to lead the design and integration of PCIe controllers into next-generation SoCs. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in PCI Express protocol (Gen4/Gen5/Gen6), integration into high performance ASICs, emulation and post silicon bring-up.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end integration of PCIe IP into complex ASIC designs.
  • Collaborate with IP vendors, architecture, verification, physical design, and software teams to deliver robust PCIe subsystems.
  • Drive performance optimization efforts across the PCIe stack, from PHY tuning to DMA/transaction layer efficiency.
  • Contribute to system architecture and microarchitecture discussions with a focus on IO and interconnect scalability.
  • Lead silicon bring-up and validation of PCIe links in the lab; work closely with board and firmware teams.
  • Debug functional and performance issues at RTL, gate-level, and silicon.
  • Ensure compliance with PCIe specifications and participate in interoperability testing where needed.
  • Provide mentorship to junior engineers and help define PCIe subsystem development best practices.
  • Good understanding of high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for high-performance compute platforms.

Requirements

  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • 10+ years of industry experience in ASIC/SoC design with a focus on PCIe controller integration.
  • Proven experience in silicon bring-up and debug of high-speed interfaces.
  • Solid understanding of PCIe protocol stack (PHY, MAC, TLP, DLL), configuration space, and link training.
  • Hands-on experience with PCIe verification environments, performance tuning, and power-aware design.
  • Familiarity with PCIe compliance testing, simulation tools (e.g., VCS, Questa), and lab equipment (e.g., protocol analyzers, oscilloscopes).
  • Strong scripting (Python, Perl, TCL) and debugging skills.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • Experience with PCIe Gen5/Gen6 and advanced retimer or switch solutions.
  • Exposure to CXL, CCIX, or other cache-coherent interconnects.
  • Background in data center or AI/ML accelerator architectures.
  • Experience with emulation and prototyping platforms (e.g., ZeBu, Palladium, HAPS) for PCIe subsystem validation.
