About the role

This is a hands‑on role with deep involvement in test development, lab debug, and cross‑functional collaboration.

Execute PCIe validation Execute Gen4/Gen5/Gen6 link and protocol tests across different platforms and system configurations.Validate SSD behaviour under abnormal and corner conditions & provide periodic PCIe validation readouts for critical program milestones.
Develop PCIe test content & frameworks: Develop and maintain automated PCIe test suites, Integrate PCIe analyzers, exercisers, and Quarch‑class tools into test frameworks to enable reproducible, automated scenarios.
Collaborate: Triage failures from regression, bring‑up, and customer scenarios
correlate PCIe traces, NVMe/OCP logs, and system logs. Partner with FW, HW, and systems teams to root‑cause and verify fixes, and roll improvements back into the test suite.
PCIe tools: Leverage PCIe analyzers/exercisers for trace capture, error injection. Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, BERTs, and related tools (as needed) to support signal‑ and protocol‑level debug.
