• Integration with Server-Grade SoCs: Collaborate with SoC architects to integrate IO interfaces within sophisticated server-grade SoC designs, ensuring compatibility with high-end CPUs, memory systems, and network interfaces.
• Performance Optimization for Data Centers: Optimize IO interfaces for the unique needs of data centers, focusing on robustness, energy efficiency, and high-speed data transfer capabilities.
• Advanced Testing and Compliance: Conduct extensive testing under data center conditions and ensure compliance with stringent industry standards relevant to server and data center environments.
• Troubleshooting in High-Performance Systems: Provide expert-level troubleshooting and problem-solving for PCIe-related issues in server & data center SoCs.
• Technical Leadership and Documentation: Lead IO interface design projects, mentor junior engineers, and maintain comprehensive documentation tailored to high-performance computing environments.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with teams across hardware, software, and physical design to ensure comprehensive design and implementation.

Required Skills & Experience :

In addition to bringing your accomplishment of either BS/MS in Computer Science or Electrical/Computer Engineering or a similar related field, you will need:

• Extensive experience in IO interface design, specifically within server & data center SoC environments. You will also need strong experience with hardware simulation, validation tools, and IO compliance testing.
• Proficient in high-speed digital design, hardware description languages (Verilog/VHDL), and digital logic design.
• In-depth understanding of server-grade SoC architectures and the specific requirements of data center applications.
• Outstanding analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

• Prior experience of at least 5+ years in a lead role on large-scale server or data center hardware projects.
• Experience with Arm-based designs and/ore Arm System Architectures
• Knowledge of advanced computing concepts such as virtualization, multi-tenancy, and cloud computing infrastructures.
• Familiarity with data center networking standards and protocols.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and teamwork abilities

In Return:

This position offers an incredible opportunity to join a growing, highly influential organization at the center of one of the most exciting markets and to lead from the front as the organization engages in a more sophisticated way.

We are proud to have a set of behaviors that reflect our culture and guide our decisions, defining how we work together. These behaviors are assessed as part of the hiring process:
