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

Central Engineering AMS IP delivers high quality analog and mixed signal IP and verification for Marvell’s advanced IPs, SoCs and platforms. The team provides scalable, reusable solutions across high speed interfaces (SerDes, DDR, D2D, PCIe, Ethernet PHY components) and advanced process nodes (5nm, 3nm, 2nm), enabling first time right silicon, reduced integration risk, and faster time to market through strong design verification convergence and system level validation.

What You Can Expect

• Drive end‑to‑end verification ownership for complex SerDes / AMS / mixed‑signal IPs across advanced nodes (5nm, 3nm, 2nm).
• Lead verification of high‑speed interfaces including SerDes, PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, D2D, PAM4/PAM2‑based designs.
• Define and execute verification plans covering calibration, link training, power modes, analog‑digital interaction, and firmware‑driven flows.
• Debug and resolve complex issues spanning RTL, AMS models, firmware, VIPs, and system‑level behaviors.
• Drive coverage closure, regression stability, and sign‑off readiness with high quality standards.
• Own or co‑own Gate‑Level Simulation (GLS), power‑aware verification, CDC/RDC validation, and timing‑aware checks.
• Collaborate closely with Design, Architecture, Firmware, and Silicon teams to ensure early alignment and risk mitigation.
• Contribute to verification infrastructure, checkers, automation, and reusable frameworks.
• Mentor junior engineers and act as a technical role model within the team.
• Identify opportunities to improve productivity and quality, including use of automation or AI‑assisted verification tools.

What We're Looking For

The Senior Staff Engineer is a highly experienced hands‑on technical contributor who drives complex verification and AMS bring‑up efforts while influencing verification strategy and execution quality across projects. This role combines deep domain expertise, strong ownership, and cross‑team collaboration, with growing responsibility for technical direction and mentoring.

Required Technical Qualifications

• 8–12 years of hands‑on experience in verification and/or AMS systems.
• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog, UVM, and modern verification methodologies.
• Deep understanding of:
• SerDes / PHY architectures
• AMS and mixed‑signal verification
• Calibration and link training flows
• Register models and firmware interaction
• Experience integrating and using industry VIPs (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens/Mentor, Avery).
• Proven ability to debug difficult issues across multiple abstraction layers.
• Solid understanding of system‑level behavior and trade‑offs, not just block‑level execution.

Leadership & Behavioral Expectations

• Demonstrates strong technical ownership and reliability.
• Leads by example through hands‑on execution and disciplined problem solving.
• Communicates technical issues clearly to diverse stakeholders.
• Makes sound decisions under ambiguity with a quality‑first mindset.
• Actively supports team growth through mentoring and knowledge sharing.
• Begins to influence technical direction and best practices beyond individual tasks.

Nice‑to‑Have / Differentiators

• Experience across multiple technology nodes and IP generations.
• Contributions to verification methodology improvements or reusable infrastructure.
• Exposure to post‑silicon debug and correlation.
• Participation in internal tech forums, papers, or conferences (DVCon, VLSI‑D, internal reviews).

Success Criteria

• Consistently delivers complex verification areas with high quality and minimal rework.
• Reduces integration and silicon risk through proactive technical engagement.
• Becomes a go‑to technical expert within the domain.
• Scales impact by enabling others, not just individual execution.
