About Marvell

Marvells 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 CAD Engineering is building a new AI-integrated verification design environment and this role sits at its core. A deterministic Python framework owns everything that decides to pass/fail and everything that must be reproducible build run verdict coverage and the quality gates while an AI layer sits on top for the judgment-heavy work: deciding what to run triaging failures and proposing fixes that a human approves. The rule is straightforward: AI proposes the deterministic framework disposes a human approves. You will design and own the Python components at the heart of that framework and put them in the hands of the DV engineers who depend on them every day. It is hands-on high-ownership work with a short path from your code to real impact the engineers you are building for sit right next to you.

What You Can Expect

Design and own core Python framework components: the declarative build graph and its importer the run-record store that makes every run reproducible coverage merge and verdict logic

Build the simulator backend abstraction command generation and capability modeling for CadenceXcelium(MSIE incremental elaboration) and Synopsys VCS so adding a simulator is a new backend and nothing else changes

Assemble self-contained token-efficient failure bundles (waveforms logs run-record fields testbench configuration and source pointers) so downstream agents can debug in one place

Wire the integrations: compute-grid job submission the results dashboard CI for the gate-blockingchangelistpath and the MCP endpoints the agents consume

Support the AI layer without owning any ML: author reusable agent skills and prompts build evaluation harnesses to measure triage and fix quality and enforce the deterministic guardrails around the agents

Package deploy and operate the flow roll it out to verification teams across sites then monitor and troubleshoot in production

Write the docs and reusable procedures that let the rest of the org adopt the flow

What Were Looking For

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or Computer Science new graduate up to 5 years of relevant experience; strong new graduates with substantial internship or project work are encouraged to apply

Strong idiomatic Python: clean testable code and solid command-line tooling

Comfort on Linux and the command line and with Git

Solid data-structures fundamentals including graphs/DAGs the build model is a dependency graph

Working knowledge of CI/CD

Self-directed: can take a well-scoped problem and deliver a component end to end

Clear written communication; the team is collaborative and distributed across time zones

Preferred

Hardware-verification fundamentals and exposure toSystemVerilog/UVM

Hands-on with an EDA simulator CadenceXceliumand/or Synopsys VCS

Coverage concepts: collection merge and closure

Comfort using AI coding agents with a habit of critically evaluating their output

Exposure to MCP or other agent/tool integration

Familiarity with compute-grid job scheduling (LSF SLURM or SGE)

Expected Base Pay Range (USD)

127630 - 191200 $ per annum
