Sr Staff Engineer-DFT
About The Position
Marvell is seeking a senior staff DFT engineer for its Optical DSP team in Santa Clara. The team develops advanced ASICs for hyperscale data center, enterprise, and AI infrastructure markets, including multi-terabit retimers, coherent DSP devices, and high-speed optical transceivers. The position supports a next-generation ODSP program and helps establish methodology and flows for flagship products developed in advanced TSMC process nodes. The engineer will define and implement DFT architecture for a chip block, integrate IP-level DFT, drive ATPG targets, lead DFT sign-off and handoff, and support silicon debug and yield learning. The role also includes mentoring engineers, coordinating across engineering disciplines, and improving DFT methodology and automation.
Requirements
- BS in EE/CE with 8+ years or MS in EE/CE with 5+ years of DFT experience on complex SoCs.
- Multiple tape-outs and silicon bring-ups.
- Deep expertise in scan, compression, ATPG fault models, MBIST/repair, JTAG, and at-speed test.
- Strong DFT timing/STA knowledge.
- Proven independent problem solving and mentoring.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with advanced nodes, preferably 7nm and below.
- Experience with high-speed SerDes/DSP products.
Responsibilities
- Define DFT architecture and implementation for a chip block, including hierarchical DFT, test modes, and clocking.
- Plan, partition, and integrate IP-level DFT for SerDes, PLLs, memories, and third-party IP.
- Drive ATPG coverage, test-time, and pattern-count targets; optimize compression and power during test.
- Lead DFT sign-off activities, including DRC, simulation, timing, equivalence, and handoff to PD/ATE.
- Debug silicon through failure isolation, diagnosis, and yield learning with Product/Test engineering.
- Mentor junior engineers and review their work.
- Coordinate with design, verification, PD, and test teams.
- Improve DFT methodology and automation.
Benefits
- Bonus and equity plans, including a new hire equity grant and annual equity refreshers.
- Employee stock purchase plan with a 2-year look back.
- Family support programs.
- Mental health resources.
- Recognition and service awards.
