• Experience integrating high-speed Ser Des/PHY, MAC/PCS, and external memory controllers (DDR/HBM) and familiarity with signal integrity/clocking issues.

• Excellent cross-functional communication skills; ability to drive tradeoffs with product management, firmware, verification, PD and foundry teams.

Nice-to-have

• Prior experience in datacenter switching/routing ASICs

• Patents or publications in ASIC architecture or networking silicon.

Behavioral & leadership expectations
