Your Team, Your Impact

The Custom and Compute Business Unit in Marvell is a world leader in advanced node semiconductor engineering. The team is developing high core-count AI compute platforms, 5G and 6G acceleration silicon, and custom ASIC designs for industry leading customers. Designs are large, complex, and challenge current design and manufacturing limits. Multi-die, 2.5D and 3D designs guarantee that Marvell remains at the forefront, delivering the highest and most integrated solutions that customers require.

What You Can Expect

This engineer will work with a high-performing DFT/DV team within a DFT organization.  Work assignment will be in two areas.  The first area will be design verification, at block and full-chip, of DFT IP inserted at RTL level.  This verification effort is UVM based.  This role also presents opportunities in ATE pattern development.  The second area will be using Siemens EDA tool to insert DFT test logic and to verify this logic after insertion.

In this role you will work on:

• UVM test case development when new DFT RTL is added into a design.  You will have the opportunity to gain experience in DFT architecture given the requirement that underlying logic be thoroughly tested in RTL form.
• Opportunities for script development where technical details of the underlying DFT architecture are abstracted into control files which then allow developing design verification flows that can span a generation of designs.
• Opportunity to work with JTAG, 1687, end evolving chiplet to chiplet test busses.
• Use of 1687 ICL/PDL to automate the creation of functional test patterns deployed on ATE.  Like structured (ATPG/memory BIST) patterns, functional patterns leverage automation.  A functional test pattern may load via JTAG or through a proprietary bus.  In the end this functional pattern may interact directly with registers or load code into a processor resident in the DUT which then runs the test case.  The complexity of these patterns requires that automated approaches be deployed to create them and to allow quicker regeneration.
• Debug of high speed IOs to include DDR and SERDES, collaborating with designers, internal and third-party IP developers, to understand test requirements, help architect test access, verify the proper integration in the netlist, develop patterns, and support ATE bring-up and debug.
• Use of Siemens EDA tools to insert scan and memory BIST, and the verification of these inserted test elements.

What We're Looking For

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields
• VLSI/SCAN/ATPG and UVM/Verification coursework preferred
• Desire to work with scan/ATPG, memory BIST, using Siemens tools
• Desire to work with System Verilog, UVM, Verification Test Plans, Coverage Driven Verification, Code Coverage, verification environments, test case simulation and debug

Expected Base Pay Range (USD)

28 - 55, $ per hour.

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.
