  • Deep knowledge of PCIe, including topology, enumeration, root complexes, endpoints, switches, bridges, retimers, link speed and width, AER and DPC errors, completion timeouts, and link failures
  • Experience benchmarking systems for performance, stability, power efficiency, thermal behaviour, and workload characteristics
  • In-depth understanding of firmware interactions across BIOS/UEFI, BMC, CPLD/FPGA, GPU firmware, NIC firmware, and other platform components
  • Experience with low-level hardware communication and debugging using I²C, SMBus, PMBus, register maps, bit masks, byte- and word-level data, and device datasheets
  • Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex hardware, software, and networking issues
  • Experience with deep problem investigation, root cause analysis, and performance optimization in cloud or high-performance computing environments
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a performance-first mindset
  • Scripting and automation using various languages (Python, Go)

Benefits:

  • Health insurance: 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and families
