Full Job Description

Your Team, Your Impact

Join Marvell's Custom Compute Solutions Business Unit (CCSBU) as we establish our design presence in San Diego's thriving semiconductor ecosystem.

This team will be responsible for delivering high‑quality customer silicon for advanced AI, XPU, and XPU‑Attach programs. By partnering closely with customers and internal stakeholders, the design center will enable Marvell’s most strategic and financially significant custom SoC initiatives, delivering differentiated solutions that reinforce Marvell’s position as a trusted partner for next‑generation compute platforms.

This is a rare foundational opportunity - you'll help shape verification strategy as part of our strategic expansion into Southern California. You're not joining an established local team - you're contributing to building one. You'll shape the technical DNA of Marvell's San Diego design verification organization.

What You Can Expect

  • In this role, you will contribute to the functional verification environment, including reference models and bus-functional monitors and drivers and contribute to the methodology behind such development.

  • Writing a verification test plan using random techniques and coverage analysis and working with designers to ensure it is complete.

  • Developing tests and tuning the environment to achieve coverage goals. Debugging failures and working with designers to resolve issues.

  • Verifying boot code and architecting, developing, and maintaining tools to streamline the design of state-of-the-art multi-core SoCs.

  • Transforming the requirements from the engineering teams into software tools that are both easy to use and scalable within a highly parallel compute environment.

  • Unit and regression testing of software tools.

What We're Looking For

BS Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science with 3-5+ years of verification and firmware and software development experience (or MS/PhD with 2-3+ years experience).

  • Strong background in SoC verification and test bench development using UVM, System Verilog, C/C++, and DPI.

  • Strong verification skills, understanding of methodology (object oriented programming, white-box/black-box, directed/random testing, coverage, gate-level simulations, data structure).

  • Must have effective interpersonal and teamwork skills.

  • Participate in problem solving and quality improvement activities.

  • Demonstrate initiative and a bias for thoughtful action.

  • Grounded, detail-oriented, always backs up ideas with facts.

  • Must have the ability to define problems, issues and opportunities, analyze data, establish facts, and draw valid conclusions from various datasets.

Expected Base Pay Range (USD)

115,200 - 170,390, $ 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.

Additional Compensation and Benefit Elements

Marvell is committed to providing exceptional, comprehensive benefits that support our employees at every stage - from internship to retirement and through life’s most important moments. Our offerings are built around four key pillars: financial well-being, family support, mental and physical health, and recognition. Highlights include an employee stock purchase plan with a 2-year look back, family support programs to help balance work and home life, robust mental health resources to prioritize emotional well-being, and a recognition and service awards to celebrate contributions and milestones. We look forward to sharing more with you during the interview process.
