Staff Engineer- DFT
About The Position
Marvell is seeking a Staff Engineer specializing in Design for Test (DFT) for its Optical DSP (ODSP) team within the Connectivity Business Unit. The team develops ASICs for hyperscale data centers, enterprise, and AI infrastructure, including multi-terabit retimers, coherent DSP devices, and high-speed optical transceivers. Its products support high-bandwidth data transmission across fiber-optic networks and electrical interconnects at 100G+ per lane, using advanced TSMC process nodes. The role is based in Santa Clara and supports a next-generation ODSP program, helping establish methodology and flows for flagship products. The successful candidate will implement and validate DFT features on assigned blocks or partitions, support timing closure and silicon bring-up, automate flows, and work with physical design, static timing analysis, and other cross-functional teams.
Requirements
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
- At least 5 years of DFT experience with a BS, or at least 3 years with an MS.
- Hands-on experience with scan, ATPG, MBIST, and JTAG using Synopsys or Siemens tools.
- Good Verilog/SystemVerilog and Tcl, Python, or Perl scripting skills.
- Understanding of ASIC flow, STA, and gate-level simulation.
- Good communication skills and ability to work well in cross-functional teams.
Responsibilities
- Implement scan, compression, OCC, wrappers, and MBIST on assigned blocks or partitions.
- Run ATPG, analyze test coverage, and improve coverage using test points and fault exclusions.
- Run DFT design-rule checks and zero-delay and SDF gate-level simulations; debug failures.
- Support DFT timing constraints and closure with physical design and STA teams.
- Generate patterns and support silicon bring-up and ATE pattern debugging.
- Write scripts to automate flows and document methodology.
Benefits
- Eligible to participate in 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.
