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 Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on implementation experience across MBIST, BISR, Boundary Scan, and IJTAG . This is a highly execution-driven role requiring 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 teams to deliver clean DFT signoff and robust test coverage for complex SoC designs. Perform hands-on DFT implementation , including: MBIST and BISR insertion and integration Boundary Scan (IEEE 1149.x) insertion IJTAG (IEEE 1687) insertion and connectivity Execute DFT verification, debug, and DFT DRC closure using Siemens Tessent Identify, debug, and resolve DFT rule violations at 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 constraints for scan, BIST, and test modes Create and maintain TCL scripts to automate DFT insertion, verification, and analysis flows Support hierarchical DFT implementation and resolve integration issues Collaborate with RTL and Physical Design teams to address DFT-related design issues Support pre-silicon DFT signoff and assist with post-silicon pattern bring-up and debug Assist with ATE pattern conversion and debug as needed
