Your Team, Your Impact

The MBE (Marvell Business Engine) group is a software and firmware engineering organization within Marvell that develops platform software, firmware, drivers, and solutions across multiple product lines including processors, CXL memory expanders, storage controllers, Ethernet PHYs, and data acceleration technologies.
Virtual Platforms is a dynamic team of engineers and designers specializing in creating cutting-edge functional simulations for System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. By providing accurate simulations and realistic environments, we accelerate innovation and reduce time-to-market. Join us as we shape the future of SoC technology!

What You Can Expect

• As a SoC Simulation Engineer in Virtual Platforms, your primary responsibility is to create accurate and efficient functional models for simulating System-on-Chip (SoC) designs.
• You collaborate closely with software teams to gather essential inputs, enabling early-stage development even before physical silicon is available.
• Additionally, you play a crucial role in diagnosing and resolving issues observed in firmware by analyzing simulation results.
• Furthermore, you actively promote the adoption of virtual platforms within the company, emphasizing their benefits for accelerated development and efficient collaboration.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields and at least 3-5 years of related professional experience.
• Master’s degree and/or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields with 2-3 years of experience. Other majors may be considered if you have enough knowledge or experience in this area.
• Working knowledge of Python and C++. You also need a fundamental understanding of firmware and software architecture.
• Willing to learn. During your first few months, you’ll be coming up to speed on our technology and tools. You’ll be learning the ins and outs of Virtual Platforms and our System-on-Chips. Even after you’ve been here a while, you’ll be constantly learning new things because we are on the absolute leading edge of technology.
• Collaborative with your teammates. We have a great culture here. People help one another and share knowledge.
• While not mandatory, experience with existing simulator technologies such as Virtualizer, Simics, QEMU or gem5 is desirable.
• Experience in computer architecture (ARM and/or RISC-V architecture) is highly valued.
