Required Experience:

· Interpreting PCIe/CXL standard protocol specifications to develop and execute verification plans in simulation environments.

· Independent development of test plans and sequences to generate stimuli.

· Experience writing assertions, cover properties, and analyzing coverage data.

· Prior experience using Verification IPs from third-party vendors for PCIe/CXL, with exposure to Gen5 or above.

· Developing VIP abstraction layers for sequences to simplify and scale verification deployments.

· Expertise in UVM and preferred experience with DPI/C/C++ interfaces.

Preferred Experience:

· Verification expertise in Physical Layer, Link Layer, and Transaction Layer of PCIe/CXL protocols.

· Experience with compliance at the physical and transaction layers for PCIe/CXL endpoints or root ports.

· Analyzing performance metrics of CXL/PCIe.

· System-level verification experience for PCIe/CXL.

Salary:

Your base salary will be determined based on your experience and the pay of employees in similar positions.
