Verify RTL for advanced ASICs and SoCs at block, unit, and system-on-chip levels. Develop UVM testbenches, write and execute verification tests, analyze functional and code coverage, perform block-level formal verification, and support post-silicon verification. The role requires validating complex SoCs with multiple clock and reset domains and using scripting languages for verification automation.

Lead end-to-end PCIe IP integration into complex ASIC and SoC designs, collaborating across architecture, verification, physical design, software, and external IP vendors. Optimize PCIe performance, contribute to IO and interconnect architecture, and lead silicon bring-up, interoperability testing, and debugging across RTL, gate-level, emulation, and post-silicon environments. Mentor engineers and establish PCIe subsystem development practices for high-performance AI and HPC platforms.

Lead verification closure for complex ASICs and SoCs used in AI and high-performance computing networking. Define verification strategies, develop UVM/SystemVerilog testbenches, execute functional testing, debug RTL failures, and close functional and code coverage. Guide block, subsystem, and SoC verification while collaborating with design, software, emulation, hardware, and post-silicon teams. Mentor engineers, establish verification guidelines, and promote AI tools to improve team productivity.

The Senior Account Manager will develop and execute sales strategies for HPC and AI networking solutions across higher education and automotive accounts. Responsibilities include prospecting, building customer relationships, managing Salesforce pipeline activity, meeting quotas, collaborating with channel and OEM partners, presenting technical solutions, and providing market feedback. The role requires a self-generating hunter mentality, grant proposal experience, technical knowledge of network interconnects, and up to 50% travel for conferences and customer meetings.

Design and optimize AI communication middleware for distributed multi-node, multi-GPU training. Implement C/C++ performance-critical features, improve GPU communication paths, profile and tune frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, DeepSpeed), develop benchmarks, contribute upstream, and collaborate with kernel, driver, switch, and systems teams to validate and deploy high-performance networking for AI/HPC.
