Senior Post-Silicon PCIe Characterization Engineer

ArmChandler, AZ$161,500-$218,500 per year

This engineer will join Arm’s Chandler characterization organization and help validate silicon so customers can bring products to market confidently. The work centers on PCIe performance, stability, link behavior, and operating limits across process, voltage, temperature, and frequency variations. The engineer will build stress workloads and test plans for Linux and bare-metal environments, use validation content, and investigate failures with lab and protocol-debug tools. The position suits someone experienced in post-silicon or pre-silicon validation who can combine hardware knowledge with C/C++, Python, assembly, or scripting skills. Strong candidates are analytical communicators familiar with PCIe architecture, high-speed interfaces, and collaborative system-level debugging.
