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

As Generative AI continues to advance, the performance drivers for data center infrastructure are shifting from systems-on-chip (SOCs) to systems of chips. In the era of Accelerated Computing, data center bottlenecks are no longer limited to compute performance, but rather the system’s interconnect bandwidth, memory bandwidth, and memory capacity.

What You Can Expect

We are seeking a Staff DFT Engineerwith 5+ years of hands-on implementation experienceacross MBIST, BISR, Boundary Scan, and IJTAG This is a highly execution-driven rolerequiring end-to-end ownership of DFT insertion, verification, DRC closure, and test coverage closure from RTL/netlist through post-silicon debug

In this role, you will partner closely with RTL, Physical Design, and ATE teamsto deliver clean DFT signoff and robust test coverage for complex SoC designs.

  • Perform hands-on DFT implementation, including:
    • MBIST and BISRinsertion and integration
    • Boundary Scan (IEEE 1149.x)insertion
    • IJTAG (IEEE 1687)insertion and connectivity
  • Execute DFT verification, debug, and DFT DRC closureusing Siemens Tessent
  • Identify, debug, and resolve DFT rule violationsat both block and top levels
  • Run, analyze, and debug SpyGlass DFT/RTL checks, working with design teams to close violations
  • Generate, simulate, and debug MBIST and logic ATPG patterns
  • Analyze test results and drive test coverage improvement and closure
  • Develop and validate DFT timing constraintsfor scan, BIST, and test modes
  • Create and maintain TCL scriptsto automate DFT insertion, verification, and analysis flows
  • Support hierarchical DFT implementationand resolve integration issues
  • Collaborate with RTL and Physical Design teamsto address DFT-related design issues
  • Support pre-silicon DFT signoffand assist with post-silicon pattern bring-up and debug
  • Assist with ATE pattern conversion and debugas needed

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields and 3-5 years
    of related professional experience OR Master’s degree and/or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields with 2-3 years of experience.
