Marvell Jobs Information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Embedded Systems Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Embedded Systems Engineer, you need strong proficiency in C/C++ programming, embedded hardware knowledge, and a degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field. Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS), microcontroller development platforms, and debugging tools like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers is typically required. Problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective teamwork are critical soft skills for success in this role. These skills and qualities are essential to design reliable embedded solutions that meet strict performance, safety, and efficiency requirements.

What are some common challenges an Embedded Systems Engineer faces when integrating hardware and software components?

Embedded Systems Engineers often encounter challenges when ensuring that hardware and software components work seamlessly together. These can include dealing with limited memory and processing power, timing constraints, and real-time performance requirements. Troubleshooting issues that arise from hardware-software interactions—such as driver compatibility, signal integrity, or power management—requires strong problem-solving skills and close collaboration with hardware designers and software developers. Engineers must frequently debug at both the hardware and code level, making attention to detail and cross-disciplinary communication essential in this role.

What are Embedded Systems Engineers?

Embedded Systems Engineers are professionals who design, develop, and maintain embedded systems—specialized computing systems that perform dedicated functions within larger mechanical or electrical systems. These engineers work with both hardware and software, often programming microcontrollers or microprocessors to control devices like automobiles, medical equipment, consumer electronics, and industrial machines. Their expertise ensures devices are efficient, reliable, and optimized for specific tasks, making embedded systems a crucial part of modern technology.

What is the difference between Embedded Systems Engineer vs Firmware Engineer?

AspectEmbedded Systems EngineerFirmware Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields; certifications like Certified Embedded Systems EngineerBachelor's in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering; certifications like Certified Firmware Engineer
Work EnvironmentDesigning and developing embedded hardware/software for devices like automotive, medical, consumer electronicsWriting low-level code to optimize firmware for microcontrollers and embedded devices
Industry UsageUsed across automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, industrial automationPrimarily in consumer electronics, IoT devices, and embedded hardware products

Both roles focus on embedded development but differ in scope. Embedded Systems Engineers work on both hardware and software integration, while Firmware Engineers specialize in writing low-level code for device firmware. Understanding these distinctions helps in choosing the right career path or job search focus.

Job description

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
The Optical Digital Signal Processing (ODSP) PHY SW Team develops software for Marvell's DSP products used in pluggable optical modules-chips that form the backbone of the internet, moving data within and between data centers worldwide. Marvell is the market leader in direct-detect optical DSPs (100G to 1.6T), with products deployed in every major cloud data center and AI cluster. We own all SW components, including embedded FW, customer SDK, and lab scripts, and we're the go-to group for getting things done across the entire product lifecycle-from pre-silicon simulation through field deployment.
What You Can Expect
You will be supporting the Software team in:
  • Developing Python scripts for testing, data collection, and diagnostics
  • Developing embedded C firmware for controlling PAM4 DSP
  • Taking an idea from concept through design, review, implementation, testing, and release to customers
  • Work on mission-critical features for top-tier cloud customers
  • Debug difficult issues, drive to root causes with HW/SW teams, and follow up with Jira tickets to get bugs resolved

Some possible tasks will be:
  • Develop Python test scripts to configure, control, and get status from multiple DSP HW platforms for improving firmware stability
  • Implement a new temperature tracking algorithm for a DSP/analog control to improve performance when device temperature changes
  • Add new debug functionality to the current firmware architecture
  • Breaking up a firmware routine into sub-routines with a coordinating finite state machine to manage tasks in parallel (bare metal C programming)
  • Optimizing subroutines to make the best use of a multi-core MCU architecture
  • Improve error management flow and reports generated by the firmware
  • Implement and test serial interface for debug tracing and error reporting (UART driver)
  • Scripting for system performance analysis of a customer's prototype optical module

You will gain experience with:
  • Software development cycle
  • Infrastructure configuration and management
  • Software regression planning and execution
  • Linux and Windows-based development
  • Continuous Integration (Jenkins) methodologies
  • Python, bash, and make scripting and automation
  • Source code management (git)

What We're Looking For
  • Minimum Requirements:
    • Candidate must have completed a BS/MS degree in Computer Science / Electronics Engineering or related technical field(s)
    • Experience in C and Python
    • Software development experience in embedded firmware environments based on C/C++
    • Excellent debug capability and problem-solving skills
    • Experience in data collection and analysis
    • Understanding the fundamentals of microcontroller architecture (ARM, RISC-V architecture a plus)
    • Understanding of fundamental Networking from the OSI model, with emphasis on the PHY up to the data link level
    • Must be curious and driven to learn more about this complicated field
    • Good verbal and written communication skills in English and Italian
    • Good attitude and ability to interact with remote teams
  • Preferred Requirements:
    • Basic understanding of how a processor interacts with memories and peripherals
    • Experience with the software development flow, from issue tracking (Jira), SCM (gitlab), design & code reviews (also gitlab), continuous integration (Jenkins), and regression testing
    • Knowledge of Digital Signal Processing
    • Understanding of DSP concepts (equalizers, filters, ADC, DAC, FFE, DFE, PLL) and PAM modulation
    • Familiarity with closed and open loop control algorithms
    • Familiarity with the fundamentals of telecommunication and digital signal processing
    • Knowledge of git, Linux, makefiles, gdb, IDEs, and bash

Expected Base Pay Range (USD)
94,160 - 141,000, $ per annum
The successful candidate's starting base pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location and market conditions. The expected base pay range for this role may be modified based on market conditions.
