For those looking to make their mark on purposeful and enduring innovation, above and beyond fleeting trends, Marvell is a place to thrive, learn, and lead. 

Your Team, Your Impact

Infrastructure Processor Business Unit, a part of Networking and Processor Business Group, encompasses OCTEON and the award-winning OCTEON Fusion-M® product families. The SoC family of multi-core CPU processors and Radio Access SoCs offer best-in-class performance, low power, rich software ecosystem, virtualization features, and open source application support with highly optimized custom ARM CPU cores providing an excellent solution for a highly flexible end-to-end optimized 5G platform.

As part of the Infrastructure Processor unit at Marvell, you will verify all of the circuitry that goes inside our chips for the general market and for specific customers. These chips use cutting-edge technology to facilitate data transfers at high speeds, and you will help verify that each design meets our customers’ specifications whether they’re a major telecom organization or automotive company, etc.

What You Can Expect

In this (hybrid/remote/in-office) role in LOCATION, you’ll work day to day with an RTL engineer to verify their design. Their design is in Verilog; you’ll use System Verilog to debug. You’ll run simulations using Synopsys VCS or a similar program, and then debug as needed until the design meets required specifications. You’ll also work closely with DFT engineers who are working in parallel on your blocks. You’ll attend weekly staff meetings to go over what everyone is working on and update your progress or address any issues. As you take responsibility for larger blocks, you may have to present to a review committee and explain your test plan and test schedule for those larger blocks.

What We're Looking For

To be successful in this role you must:
- Have completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering and have 2 to 3 years of related professional experience OR a Master’s Degree and/or PhD in those fields.
- Your coursework must have included some analog classes, Verilog or VHDL, basic circuits, and computer architecture. You should have a focus in VLSI or show projects in your courses that directly relate to chip design.
- You have used a tool like Synopsys, Cadence, or Mentor to run simulations and you can write and debug a testbench.
- Be comfortable working in a Linux environment and doing scripting with Python.
- Be extremely detail-oriented and ready to iterate a design over and over again until it is refined completely.
- Work and communicate well with your team, keeping them in the loop about your progress, issues you encounter, and any deviations from the planned schedule.

Additional Compensation and Benefit Elements

With competitive compensation and great benefits, you will enjoy our workstyle within an environment of shared collaboration, transparency, and inclusivity.
