Senior Staff Engineer - Validation

What You'll Do

• Validate/characterize the key Analog and DSP based SerDes blocks: PLL, Equalizer, high performance ADC, Serializer, DAC and Driver.
• Define methodology for measurement of IP parameters specified in IP datasheet, helping designers to close any gap between simulation and silicon measurement.
• Working closely with firmware engineers and block designers to optimize control setting for individual IP, calibration sequence and methodology.
• Working with system validation engineers and application engineers to optimize system performance and enhance system robustness.
• Working closely with HW design engineers, proving requirements for signal integrity, board design features to fully support IP characterization and debug.
• Work closely with the development teams to assist in the bring-up phase Provide device specific application engineering support to our customers and FAE’s.
• Educate, answer questions, debug issues, and solve problems for customers, architect demo kits.
• Author application collaterals like GUI, application notes, user guides, articles, design ideas, new product proposals, and evaluation kit manuscripts for internal and/or external publication.
• What We're Looking For BSEE/MSEE or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, 10+ years of experience in silicon validation/characterization, compliance tests, system performance robustness, etc.
• Hands on experience in circuit bring-up, validation and analysis of high-speed with multi-lane multi-standard SERDES (including testing of high-speed ADC, PLL, DAC, Driver).
• Understanding of the key performance parameters of IP and analog/digital blocks and the ability to define and develop and execute test platforms and validation plans.
• Experience with one, or more, of the following protocols such as PCI-Express, 10GBASE-KR/SR/MR/ER/LR, 25-50-100-200GBASEKR/CR, CPRI, CEI-56G.
• Effective communication and presentation skills.
• Experience of working with an international cross-functional team.
• Experience in software and software control of lab equipment (C++, Perl, Python) highly desirable Working knowledge of lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, Function Generators, Spectrum Analyzers, BERTs, VNA, etc, automated control of equipment using the GPIB/488 bus) and lab validation techniques.
• Fundamentals of communication, transmission lines, EM, microwave theories Attitude to interact with remote team Understanding of Signal Integrity (SI) data on communication system performance Usage of ADS/Matlab or other simulation tools to model SerDes is a plus Experience in electro-optical systems is a plus.
• Experience of analog circuit is a plus Additional Compensation and Benefit Elements Competitive salary, plus 13th-month salary and performance-based bonus RSUs (Restricted Stock Units) for new joiners and on-going annually Premium health & accident insurance for you and your family (spouse and children) Annual medical check-up at a designated hospital arranged by Marvell Generous paid leave policies: 15 annual leave days, 3 Recharge periods per year (company-wide off-work from Friday to Monday), 5 paid sick leave days, 3 days of volunteer time-off and 11 public holidays Exciting Employee Events: Participate in fun activities throughout the year such as team birthdays, sports tournaments, company trips, mid-autumn, appreciation week, charity, health seminars, year-end party, and more.
