Your Team, Your Impact Marvell's U.S. Customer Solutions Group is the frontline technical partner to the world's most demanding infrastructure customers - megascale data centers, cloud providers, and AI system builders. We turn Marvell silicon into deployable platforms by working shoulder-to-shoulder with customer engineering teams from early architecture through production ramp. Our engineers bring deep, hands-on expertise across hardware, software, and system integration. The close, trust-based collaboration we build with our customers - and with Marvell's silicon and engineering hardware teams - is foundational to Marvell's growth in networking, connectivity, and AI infrastructure. What You Can Expect As Staff Engineer for Lab Operations, you will own end-to-end responsibility for the Customer Solutions Group's Santa Clara hardware lab - the physical and operational backbone that enables Marvell's hardware experts to deliver world-class technical engagements to our customers. This is a senior individual contributor role with full lab accountability across all CSG platforms in Santa Clara. You will own lab infrastructure, equipment lifecycle, vendor relationships, setup integrity, inventory, RMA setup readiness, budget execution, and global remote-lab enablement for Marvell's worldwide CSG and engineering teams. You will also own logistics for customer demos and industry tradeshows - making sure that when Marvell shows up technically, the lab is ready to back it up. Success in this role means that engineers and customers experience the Santa Clara CSG lab as a best-in-class environment - disciplined, reliable, and consistently ready to deliver under continuous project pressure. Lab infrastructure & setup ownership Hold full accountability for the Santa Clara CSG lab - its equipment, setups, organization, safety, and day-to-day operational health across all supported platforms. Own and maintain test setups end-to-end: assembly, calibration schedules, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, documentation, and lifecycle management. Drive lab organization, layout, and signage so that every engineer and visiting customer can find equipment, setups, and instrumentation quickly. Lead lab renovation and expansion projects - scoping, planning, vendor coordination, and execution. Partner with Marvell's facilities and physical security teams on lab needs: power, cooling, cabling, room build-outs, access controls, and visitor protocols. Equipment, inventory & RMA setup readiness Own the lab equipment inventory: tagging, asset tracking, location management, utilization tracking, and end-of-life planning. Maintain spares, cables, fixtures, and consumables at the levels needed to keep setups running without interruption. Maintain dedicated RMA test setups used to examine field-returned chips - keep the systems, test programs, and instrumentation always ready to receive and process RMA units the moment they arrive, including ensuring proper test-hole-plug coverage and re-test readiness whenever needed. Vendor management & sourcing Build and maintain relationships with test equipment vendors, integrators, and service providers. Source and evaluate equipment, gather and analyze quotes, and recommend purchases based on technical fit, cost, lead time, and long-term support. Stay current on the test and measurement ecosystem so Marvell's lab capability tracks the state of the art in high-speed and AI infrastructure validation. Budget execution & planning input Execute against the annual lab equipment and operating budget set by leadership; track spend, manage purchase orders, and report against plan. Advise leadership on equipment needs, refresh cycles, and capability gaps - providing detailed quotes, technical recommendations, and ROI input to support planning. Global remote lab enablement Ensure that Marvell CSG team members worldwide - including the USA team - can reliably access working lab setups in Santa Clara for debugging and running tests, with connectivity and setup state maintained and always up. Own the operational discipline behind remote-access uptime: setup state preservation, equipment readiness, connectivity monitoring, and quick recovery when something goes down. Coordinate with Marvell labs in other geographies (Israel, India, and other sites) on shared setups, equipment loans, and cross-site resource utilization. Customer demos & tradesho
