Your Team, Your Impact

Marvell Custom Solutions partners with the world's most advanced technology companies to architect and deliver next-generation custom silicon that powers AI infrastructure, cloud computing, and 5G networks. Our team drives innovation at the forefront of semiconductor design, working on cutting-edge System-on-Chips (SoCs) built in the most advanced process nodes (3nm, 2nm) that leverage best-in-class IP portfolios spanning high-speed SerDes (112G+), advanced die-to-die interconnects, custom HBM memory architectures, PCIe Gen 6/7, and CXL 3.0 technologies—all integrated using breakthrough advanced packaging techniques including 2.5D, 3D, and co-packaged optics.

What You Can Expect

• Lead DV, emulation, and pre-silicon verification execution across multiple programs with a zero-defect mindset

• Define DV scope, methodology, and verification strategies that scale across complex SoC programs

• Architect and drive the definition and implementation of DV testbench (TB) architectures

• Define execution timelines in close collaboration with stakeholders, set program goals, and take decisive action to keep execution on track

• Collaborate closely with Architecture, Design, DFT, PD, FW, and System teams to ensure successful product execution from specification through tape-out

• Lead tool evaluation and selection to continuously advance the DV toolset and flow

• Drive continuous productivity improvements through both incremental optimizations and forklift changes to the DV flow

• Monitor industry DV trends and adapt the organization to stay ahead of key developments, particularly in PCIE architectures and memory technologies (DDR, LPDDR, HBM)

• Hire, build, and retain a high-performance engineering team; address ongoing training, development, and career growth needs across the organization

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field with 20+ years of related professional experience, OR Master's degree and/or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field with 15+ years of experience

• Strong understanding of the full ASIC development process, from architecture definition through tape-out and production

• Proven ability to lead and scale ASIC verification teams across global design centers

• Demonstrated track record of delivering high-quality, production-grade ASICs on time

• Solid understanding of SoC architecture, including processor cores, memory subsystems, and peripheral interfaces

• Strong cross-functional leadership skills with the ability to influence and drive alignment across Architecture, Design, DFT, PD, FW, and System teams

• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills, with the ability to represent the DV organization to senior leadership and customers

• Highly motivated, self-driven, and naturally curious about emerging technologies and verification methodologies

Preferred Qualifications

• Good understanding of PCIe architectures and memory technologies including DDR, LPDDR, and HBM

• Experience with emulation platforms and pre-silicon validation strategies

• Familiarity with advanced verification techniques including formal verification, hardware-software co-verification, and post-silicon validation support

• Background in high-speed interface verification including 112G+ SerDes, PCIe Gen 6/7, CXL 3.0, or custom die-to-die interconnects
