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.
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.
- 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.
- Experience with developing test automation systems in a hardware validation or lab automation environment.
- Knowledge of data analysis tools (e.g., Pandas, NumPy, MATLAB) and experience processing large sets of test data.
- Familiarity with hardware bring-up, signal integrity, or post-silicon validation processes.
- Contributions to establishing coding standards, automation best practices, or system design documentation.
