Overview

• About Marvell Marvell’s semiconductor solutions are the essential building blocks of the data infrastructure that connects our world.
• Across enterprise, cloud and AI, and carrier architectures, our innovative technology is enabling new possibilities.
• At Marvell, you can affect the arc of individual lives, lift the trajectory of entire industries, and fuel the transformative potential of tomorrow.
• 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 Marvell Central Engineering (CE) develops Marvell most advanced High-Speed SerDes (HSS) IPs covering multiple applications, Switch, Automotive, Storage, Optics, etc.
• Acting as the engine to the company, Central Engineering provides the source of power to every business unit in Marvell system.
• Central System Engineering (CSE) in Central Engineering, independent of other CE functions including DSP algorithm development, circuit design, physical design, packaging, etc., is a function team responsible of validating all Marvell HSS IPs in the lab environment and supporting all Marvell business units for fast and smooth SoC production.
• What You Can Expect In this role you will be part of the Central IP applications team.
• Participate in the design and implementation the PHY validation framework , which focues on automation, scalability, and modularity to support diverse hardware validation requirements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, firmware, validation, and test engineering) to define validation goals, interface requirements, and automation strategies.
• Develop test infrastructure and automation tools to enable efficient, reliable, and repeatable validation workflows.
• Integrate hardware and software systems into the validation framework, including DUTs (Devices Under Test), measurement instruments, data acquisition systems, and test control platforms.
• Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines to support continuous integration, automated testing, and validation result reporting.
• Monitor system performance and test coverage , identifying opportunities to optimize runtime efficiency and improve failure diagnostics.
• Write clear documentation for framework architecture, test flows, usage guides, and onboarding materials for other engineers.
• Support framework maintainability through version control, issue tracking, modular code practices, and periodic code reviews.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the development of best practices in software engineering and validation methodology.
• Stay current with industry trends in test automation, hardware-software co-validation, and emerging technologies to guide future enhancements.
• What We're Looking For Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field and 8+ years of experience in software engineering, or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field and 5 years of experience in software engineering.
• Proficiency knowledge in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, C++, C#, or similar), with a strong understanding of software design principles and test-driven development.
• Experience designing and implementing automation frameworks or validation infrastructure.
• Familiarity with PHY layer concepts (e.g., SERDES, USB, PCIe, Ethernet) and validation workflows.
• Familiarity withversion control systems (e.g., Git), CI/CD workflows, and issue tracking systems (e.g., Jira).
• Hands-on experience working with test equipment (oscilloscopes, BERTs, logic analyzers, etc.) and integrating them via APIs (e.g., SCPI, VISA, gRPC).
• Excellent debugging, problem-solving, and analytical skills in hardware-software interaction environments.
• Effective communication skills and ability to work collaboratively across cross-functional teams.
