About Marvell
Marvells semiconductor solutions are the essential building blocks of the data infrastructure that connects our world. Across enterprise cloud and AI automotive 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
The Marvell Validation group designs and develops pre- and post-silicon test platforms to validate multi-core ARM-based network and storage processors used in communication infrastructure data center applications and cloud storage and computing platforms.Within the Validation group the electrical characterization team is responsible for debugging and characterizing SerDes DDR and NAND flash PHY interfaces. The SerDes interfaces utilize NRZ and PAM4 signaling for Ethernet CPRI JESD and PCIe DRAM interfaces include LPDDR5 and DDR4/5 memory modules. Additionally the characterization team develops test platforms and automated test suites to assess analog interfaces across process voltage and temperature (PVT) extremes ensuring silicon viability for volume production.
What You Can Expect
Develop and maintain embedded firmware and software drivers to control and validate high-speed ASIC SoCs across various product lines using custom evaluation systems under pre-silicon emulation platforms like FPGA/Zebu and post-silicon environments.
Create and maintain kernel and user space drivers under Linux tailored to Marvells controllers and high-speed I/O interfaces supporting Ethernet MAC/Phy PCIe NVMe CXL protocols and low-speed I/O interfaces such as I2C I3C SMBus SPI etc.
Understand the I/O stack from host to device including both hardware and software components.
Develop and maintain host-side test application software under Linux OS.
Conduct experiments and data collection on the bench producing professional reports that detail experimental results.
Collaborate with design and architecture teams to produce application notes reference firmware software libraries and other technical documentation for new and existing SoC features.
Analyze and visualize data using Excel and Python.
Excellent troubleshooting skills to resolve silicon issues and provide technical/debug support to customers.
What Were Looking For
Bachelors degree in software Computer or Electrical Engineering with 3 years professional experience and/or Masters degree in Software Computer or Electrical Engineering in the following domains Pre-Si Validation Post-Si Validation Stress & PVT testing.
Proficiency in NVMe over PCIe interface.
Experience with MCTP/MI over PCIe VDM or SMBus.
Controller firmware programming in C using ARM cores with familiarity in concurrent programming models under multi-core CPU architectures.
Expertise in Linux kernel I/O driver development and debugging.
Experience in Linux user space I/O driver development and debugging using the SPDK/DPDK stack.
Familiarity with hardware equipment such as protocol analyzers oscilloscopes and logic analyzers. Proficiency in Excel and Python programming.
Knowledge of at least one protocol specification like Ethernet NVMe PCIe or CXL.
Familiarity with at least one low-speed I/O interface such as I2C I3C SMBus SPI or UART.
