This is a highly technical, customer-facing role requiring strong expertise in PCIe, Ethernet, high-speed board design, system-level debugging, and data center platforms.

Responsibilities

• Support cloud service providers, server OEMs, and networking customers throughout product design-in and system integration.
• Understand customer requirements and recommend suitable semiconductor connectivity solutions.
• Provide hands-on support for silicon bring-up, board bring-up, and system-level debugging.
• Troubleshoot PCIe, Ethernet, SerDes, and other high-speed connectivity issues.
• Analyze issues across silicon, PCB hardware, firmware, drivers, BIOS, and system environments.
• Use protocol analyzers, traffic generators, high-speed oscilloscopes, and other lab equipment for validation and debugging.
• Support high-speed link optimization and system validation using Python-based automation.
• Debug embedded firmware at the SerDes / SoC or MCU level when required.
• Work closely with internal product, firmware, validation, and engineering teams to drive customer issue resolution.
• Translate customer feedback and technical requirements into product improvements and roadmap inputs.
• Conduct technical reviews, customer discussions, and onsite system bring-up activities.
• Travel within Asia and occasionally to North America based on customer needs.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline; Master’s degree preferred.
• 8+ years of experience supporting complex SoC or semiconductor products for Server, Storage, or Networking applications.
• Experience working directly with cloud service providers, server OEMs, or networking customers.
• Strong hands-on knowledge of PCIe and Ethernet.
• Experience with silicon bring-up, system bring-up, and customer-system debugging.
• Strong understanding of high-speed board design techniques.
• Familiarity with data center platforms including servers, JBOG/JBOD, networking switches, and routers.
• Hands-on experience with protocol analyzers, traffic generators, and high-speed oscilloscopes.
• Intermediate Python skills for system validation automation and link optimization.
• Ability to debug embedded firmware at the SerDes / SoC or MCU level.
• Strong customer-facing communication and problem-solving capability.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong understanding of high-speed interfaces at the Physical Layer level.
• Experience with at least 12G NRZ, with 25G NRZ or 56G PAM4 preferred.
• Experience developing or supporting PCIe ICs, switches, retimers, or
• related connectivity products.
• Familiarity with PCIe compliance, interoperability, and link-debug methodology.
• Experience debugging or developing embedded firmware, drivers, and BIOS using PCIe technology.
• Knowledge of SerDes, equalization, signal integrity, and link training.
• Experience supporting hyperscalers or Tier-1 server and networking OEMs.
