Design Verification Engineer, Principal

Marvell•Santa Clara, CA

About The Position

As part of the Design Verification Team at Marvell, you will verify all of the circuitry that goes inside our chips for the general market and for specific customers. These chips use cutting-edge technology to facilitate data transfers at high speeds, and you will help verify that each design meets our customers' specifications whether they're a major telecom organization or automotive company, etc. As a leading member of the Network Switching team you will develop the architecture for a functional verification environment, including reference models and bus-functional monitors and drivers and contribute to the methodology behind such development. Your role may also include project management and leading a team of verification engineers on a project level. Activities may include: Writing a verification test plan using random techniques and coverage analysis and working with designers to ensure it is complete. Developing tests and tuning the environment to achieve coverage goals. Debugging failures and working with designers to resolve issues. Verifying boot code and architecting, developing, and maintaining tools to streamline the design of state-of-the-art multi-core SoCs. Transforming the requirements from the engineering teams into software tools that are both easy to use and scalable within a highly parallel compute environment. Unit and regression testing of software tools.
