Position: RTL Integration Engineer - PCIe Gen5 to Gen8 (BB812FI RM 4549)

Key skills: PCIe Gen5+ controller and PHY integration, PCIe protocol layers (TL/DL/PHY), LTSSM, TLP/DLLP, flow control, replay, PIPE interface, multi-clock design, CDC, reset sequencing, and AXI/APB-based SoC integration.

Must have silicon-proven PCIe Gen5+ experience; exposure to PCIe Gen6 FLIT-mode architecture is strongly preferred.

Preferred exposure: Chiplet/multi-die SoCs, CXL 2.x/3.x, retimer/redriver integration, post-silicon debug and bring-up, ASPM/low-power integration, RAS/AER, and IDE/link-level security.

Role Overview

We are looking for a highly experienced RTL Integra on Engineer to lead PCIe Gen5 and beyond (Gen6/Gen7/Gen8) controller and PHY integra on for advanced SoC and chiplet-based designs. The role requires deep PCIe protocol knowledge, solid RTL/SoC integra on exper se, and hands-on experience taking designs from integra on through silicon bring-up readiness.

Key Responsibilities

- Integrate PCIe Gen5+ controllers and PHYs into complex SoC architectures
- Own end-to-end RTL integra on, including parameteriza on, clocking, reset, and CSR integra on
- Ensure correct implementa on of PCIe protocol layers (TL/DL/PHY) and LTSSM behavior
- Manage speed and width change, recovery, and reset scenarios across genera ons
- Drive PIPE (4.x / 5.x) PHY interface integra on, including power-state and latency alignment
- Implement robust error handling, replay logic support, and AER repor ng paths
- Op mize performance, latency, and power across mul ple VCs and traffic classes
- Collaborate with DV, PHY, firmware, and so ware teams to ensure compliance and bring-up readiness




- Support debug and silicon bring-up through visibility hooks and instrumenta on

Required Technical Skills

- Strong hands-on experience with PCIe Gen5 and above RTL integra on
- Deep understanding of PCIe architecture (Root Complex, Endpoint, Switch)
- Exper se in LTSSM states, transi ons, and recovery mechanisms
- Solid knowledge of TLP/DLLP formats, flow control, replay, and ordering rules
- Experience with PIPE interfaces and PHY interac on (rate/width change, power states)
- Proven skills in mul -clock design, CDC, and reset sequencing
- Familiarity with ASPM (L0s, L1, L1.1, L1.2) and low-power integra on
- Strong understanding of error handling, RAS, and AER capability integra on
- Experience integra ng PCIe into AXI/APB-based SoC fabrics

Gen-Specific Expecta ons

- Gen5: 32 GT/s NRZ opera on, ght ming margins, EQ awareness
- Gen6: FLIT-mode architecture, PAM4 signaling, FEC/CRC, PHY latency budge ng
- Gen7/Gen8: Scalable RTL, re mer/chiplet awareness, reliability and RAS focus

Experience Qualifica ons

- 8-12+ years of experience in high-speed interface RTL integra on
- Silicon-proven PCIe Gen5+ experience is mandatory
- Exposure to PCIe Gen6 FLIT-mode strongly preferred
- Experience with chiplet-based or mul -die SoCs is a plus

Preferred differen ators

- CXL 2.x / 3.x awareness
- Re mer/redriver integra on exposure
- Post-silicon debug and bring-up experience
- Security concepts (IDE, link-level protec on)
