This team performs analog validations on amplifiers that drive optical electronic devices and receivers. We also validate silicon photonics, do upper electronic measurements and support the coherent digital signal programming unit. This is a niche area at Marvell, working with cutting edge technologies used by many internal and external customers around the world.

What You Can Expect

Create, define and develop validation and test plans for Board/Chip level silicon validation/characterization on Marvell's internal IPs such as High-Speed SerDes, PLL, ADC, Power Regulator, Temperature sensor and others. Responsibility to implement the bench automation in Python to execute automatic data collection both using standard bench equipment and customized toolsets. Responsibility for the test setup and debug of failures. Requires understanding of system areas and interfaces with Architecture, Design, and Pre-silicon Validation High level overview and ability to understand end-to-end system scenarios.

Detailed responsibilities include:

• Working with IP design team to define test specification arm to fully cover all items needed for IP validation and characterization.
• Responsible for device controlling SW (knowledge of Python, C++, Matlab, Excel VBA is a plus).
• Data analysis and silicon test report.
• Provide IP debugging support to SoC teams.
• Provide IP usual training to Marvell's internal FAE.
• Work with IP design team on new chip features, definitions, and bring-up.
