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 a test development principal engineer in the Operations business group, you will test features on the silicon semiconductor chips Marvell produces for internal and external customers. You will make sure we don't ship out any underperforming units. You'll work closely with design to make sure their chip features are testable and that the results meet the customer's specifications. You may even have to write new code or develop new testing strategies when our chips outpace the capabilities of current testing equipment.
What You Can Expect
Develop and optimize test methodologies for optical/electrical performance validation (e.g., IV, TIA/DRV behavior, MZM control, PD characterization).
Design, set up, and maintain automated and semi-automated optical/electrical test stations.
Cross-functional collaboration with design, packaging, and process teams to define test requirements and ensure design-for-test (DfT) alignment.
Support test readiness for new product introduction (NPI) and mass production ramp.
Interact with external vendors, contract manufacturers, and FA teams to resolve issues and improve test quality.
Document test processes, procedures, and technical learnings in a structured, clear manner.
