Your Team, Your Impact

As a Hardware and Silicon Validation Staff Engineer at Marvell, you will help bring to market next-generation high-bandwidth interconnect solutions used in AI, cloud, and data-center infrastructure worldwide.

Our team validates complex analog and mixed-signal signal chains, including ADC/DAC paths, high-speed SerDes, and silicon photonics interfaces enabling extremely high data rates over optical and electrical links.

This role combines deep lab work, automation, and cross-team collaboration with design and firmware teams to ensure successful silicon bring-up and production readiness.

You will work on cutting-edge technologies in a highly technical, collaborative engineering environment, contributing directly to silicon used in large-scale AI and cloud infrastructure worldwide.

What You Can Expect

• Develop and maintain validation and automation software to enable testing of new silicon features and high-speed interfaces.
• Execute silicon bring-up and characterization activities, working closely with design and firmware teams to debug complex system and silicon-level issues and drive root-cause resolution.
• Define and execute validation strategies and test plans, ensuring coverage of performance, reliability, and compliance requirements, and clearly communicate results to internal and external stakeholders.
• Design and implement tests to evaluate performance, signal integrity, power consumption, and robustness of multiple SoC subsystems.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of validation methodologies, lab infrastructure, and automation frameworks to increase test efficiency and product quality.
• Support product ramp and customer engagements by helping resolve field or production-related validation issues when required.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, with industry experience in silicon validation, bring-up, or hardware characterization, or equivalent hands-on lab experience.

• Solid understanding of analog or mixed-signal systems, ideally in high-speed interfaces or signal chains involving ADC/DAC or SerDes technologies.

• Experience using Python or C/C++ for lab automation, data analysis, or test infrastructure development.

• Familiarity with Linux environments and embedded or SoC-based systems.

• Hands-on experience working with lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, or signal generators.

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across hardware, firmware, and software domains.

• Ability to collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Nice to Have

• Experience with high-speed protocols such as Ethernet, PCIe, or DDR.

• Exposure to silicon photonics or optical communication systems.

• Experience with high-speed measurement techniques or automated validation frameworks.
