# Switch Firmware Engineer

About the Role We are seeking a hands-on engineer with a strong background in low-level software/firmware development, computer architecture, and PCI-Express (PCIe) technology to join our team. You will design, implement, and validate the firmware for ultra-low latency, high bandwidth PCIe switches enabling GPU accelerators, NICs, and drives to compute high-performance AI and datacenter workloads. You will work closely with UEFI/BIOS, BMC, hardware architects, validation engineers, and product management to translate architecture specifications into robust, production-ready firmware that meets stringent performance, power, and reliability targets. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and enjoys digging into register-level details while delivering firmware that customers can rely on. Key Responsibilities: Design, develop, integrate, and maintain PCIe Switch firmware for servers. Participate in design reviews, and cross-functional product planning meetings. Collaborate with external vendors to integrate PCIe switch firmware with system software and hardware. Develop specifications for link-training, error handling, lane-reconfiguration, and hot-plug
