Hardware Validation (Test Solutions) Engineer

Marvell Technology•Burlington, VT

About The Position

About Marvell Marvell’s 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 Test Solutions Engineering (TSE) plays a central role in Marvell, ensuring the quality, yield, and performance of our Marvell products. This role begins early in the design process and is central to enabling the rapid production ramps and test requirements of our customers. What You Can Expect Develop ATE (Automated Test Equipment) Test Solutions: Create detailed test plans, define experiments, and perform analyses to validate the yield, performance, and reliability of custom products. Ensure Quality and Performance: Develop test solutions based on product application conditions, IP capabilities, design timing margins, and process technology specifications. Refine these solutions through extensive ATE characterization and customer system feedback. Identify and Address Faults: Utilize a product’s DFT (Design for Test) solution to explore and bound the operating space, assess points of failure, and characterize manufacturing variations. Establish test margins to protect product yields and improve quality. Drive Collaboration: Work closely with customers, design, DFT, operations, and reliability teams to ensure test solutions meet coverage requirements. Collaborate with design teams and customers to define DFT requirements and translate them into test programs.
