Sr. Manager, ASIC Verification - Interface IP- PCIe/CXL

Job title: Sr. Manager, ASIC Verification - Interface IP- PCIe/CXL

About the Role As Sr. Manager, ASIC Verification - Interface IP- PCIe/CXL, you will drive alignment between Verification IP capabilities and Design IP verification needs across Controller and PHY. You will define VIP requirements from real use cases, track PCI Express specification updates and errata, and push for best-in-class coverage and traceability. You will be hands-on in UVM environments to validate VIP usage and coach teams on verification practices.

What You'll Do

• Own the alignment between Verification IP capabilities and Design IP verification needs, identifying gaps in feature coverage for both Controller and PHY
• Drive requirements definition for Verification IP based on real Design IP verification use cases
• Track PCI Express specification updates, ECNs, and errata, translating changes into actionable requirements for both VIP and Design IP teams
• Review and critique test plans across projects, pushing teams toward best-in-class coverage and traceability
• Report VIP deployment metrics and drive continuous improvement in how VIP is integrated into verification flows
• Work hands-on with UVM-based verification environments to validate VIP usage and model best practices

What We're Looking For

• 15+ years of hands-on experience in digital verification, with significant time on PCI Express or high-speed serial protocols
• Deep subject matter expertise in PCI Express Link Layer and PHY Layer, including specification details and errata
• Proven experience in IP product development, either building Verification IP or deploying it to verify complex Design IP
• Strong UVM knowledge and experience in UVM-based verification environments
• Track record of driving results in cross-functional, matrixed organizations across geographies
• Experience with CXL or other coherent interconnect protocols is a plus
• You are results driven and define the path forward without waiting for perfect alignment
• You critique test plans and verification strategies constructively, making the work better without making it personal
• You are adaptable and thrive where priorities shift, teams are distributed, and stakeholders have competing needs
• You think in systems, seeing how a gap in VIP coverage today becomes a customer escalation tomorrow
• You are hands-on when it matters, jumping into a testbench or debugging a protocol sequence to unblock the team

Nice to Have

• Experience with CXL or other coherent interconnect protocols is a plus
