  • RDMA or packet processor IP architecture experience
  • Collaboration with software teams
Good to have:
  • Experience with networking switches, endpoints, hardware offloads
  • Proficiency in C++, Python, or Go
  • Deep understanding of packet processing, queueing, switching, routing
  • Performance estimation and test plan definition

Job Details


Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 8 years of experience working in network architecture and system design principles for low latency, high throughput, security, and reliability.
  • Experience developing RTL for ASIC subsystems.
  • Experience in micro-architecture, design, verification, logic synthesis, and timing closure.
  • Experience in architecting RDMA or packet processor IPs across multiple generations.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Experience architecting networking switches, end points, and hardware offloads.
  • Experience with TCP, IP, Ethernet, PCIE, and DRAM, and familiarity with Network on Chip (NoC) principles and protocols (e.g., AXI, ACE, and CHI).
  • Experience working with software teams optimizing the hardware/software interface.
  • Proficiency in a procedural programming language (e.g., C++, Python, Go).
  • Deep understanding of packet classification, processing, queueing, scheduling, switching, routing, traffic conditioning, and telemetry.
  • Ability to estimate performance by analysis, modeling, and network simulation, and define and drive performance test plans.
