Principal Engineer - Design For Test (DFT)

Job title: Principal Engineer - Design For Test (DFT)

About the Role Marvell's Digital IC Design Principal Engineer will be a member of the Custom Silicon Engineering team. This role focuses on implementing DFT and test infrastructure for large multi-die designs to deliver high compute performance across markets such as custom AI, 5G and 6G. The position requires hands-on DFT expertise, the ability to work with existing Tessent solutions and to develop new DFT/DFX innovations, and will involve mentoring a small DFT engineering team.

What You'll Do

• Implement DFT/Test on complex IP and SoC across custom ASIC/SoC designs; run Tessent tools to insert DFT structures.
• Develop chiplet DFT solutions including Tessent SSN; verify and debug.
• Proficiency in ICL/PDL, PTAP/STAP, 1687; instrument-level access inside chip.
• Collaborate with leads to define DFT architecture and additional DFT/DFX features.
• Involve in STA constraint definition, pattern generation, post-silicon bring-up and debug.
• Grow to mentor a small DFT engineering team.
• Enhance DFT methodologies and tools with other leads.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related with minimum of 10 years of work experience.
• Direct DFT experience with at least 8 years in the custom chip (ASIC) design business.
• Hands-on working experience in various stages of DFT-Execution: SCAN/MBIST/Validation/STA/IP-DFX/Post-Silicon Bring-up/Debug.
• Thorough knowledge on various DFT/Test architecture solutions for 2.5D/3D IC design.
• Strong fundamentals in digital circuit design and logic design.
• Understanding of DFT flows and methodologies and experience with Siemens/Synopsys Tool set (Tessent, Spyglass/Tmax, Genus, Modus, NCSim/DC), with Tessent the EDA tool flow in use.
• Proven track record of problem solving and innovation to meet challenging design requirements.
• Excellent team player and can work with different function leaders, across different geographies to define and execute the DFT project to completion. Excellent communications skills both verbal and written.
• Scripting skills using Python, PERL, Tcl and C-Shell is plus.

Nice to Have

• Scripting skills in Python, PERL, Tcl, and C-Shell are a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: USD 160,400 - 237,320 per year.
• Marvell offers an employee stock purchase plan with a 2-year look-back, family support programs to help balance work and home life, robust mental health resources, and recognition and service awards to celebrate contributions and milestones.
