Your Team, Your Impact

Marvell Custom Solutions partners with the world's most advanced technology companies to architect and deliver next-generation custom silicon that powers AI infrastructure, cloud computing, and 5G networks. Our team drives innovation at the forefront of semiconductor design, working on cutting-edge System-on-Chips (SoCs) built in the most advanced process nodes (3nm, 2nm) that leverage best-in-class IP portfolios spanning high-speed SerDes (112G+), advanced die-to-die interconnects, custom HBM memory architectures, PCIe Gen 6/7, and CXL 3.0 technologies-all integrated using breakthrough advanced packaging techniques including 2.5D, 3D, and co-packaged optics.

What You Can Expect

• Lead DV, emulation, and pre-silicon verification execution across multiple programs with a zero-defect mindset

• Define DV scope, methodology, and verification strategies that scale across complex SoC programs

• Architect and drive the definition and implementation of DV testbench (TB) architectures

• Define execution timelines in close collaboration with stakeholders, set program goals, and take decisive action to keep execution on track

• Collaborate closely with Architecture, Design, DFT, PD, FW, and System teams to ensure successful product execution from specification through tape-out

• Lead tool evaluation and selection to continuously advance the DV toolset and flow

• Drive continuous productivity improvements through both incremental optimizations and forklift changes to the DV flow

• Monitor industry DV trends and adapt the organization to stay ahead of key developments, particularly in PCIE architectures and memory technologies (DDR, LPDDR, HBM)

• Hire, build, and retain a high-performance engineering team; address ongoing training, development, and career growth needs across the organization
