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 staff 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 Test program development on the Advantest 93K tester platform and design tester hardware for high-speed testing. Develop characterization, production, and wafer sort test programs on the Advantest 93K tester. Create all the documentation for detail test plans and test methodologies to meet product specifications. Involved in the testability review with DFT/DFM teams to define and enhance yield and test methodologies. Test pattern conversion from design simulation environment to ATE format. Play a lead role in test flow optimization, test time reduction, insertion removals, yield improvement, and release of production test programs with product engineers. Wage $126,000.00 - $127,000.00 per year. What We're Looking For Master’s or foreign equivalent degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. Must have work/internship experience or completed graduate coursework/research in each of the following: • Test program development on a tester platform. • Design for test – stuck at faults, design strategies for test. • Memory circuit basics including register file, SRAM, and DRAM. • Timing and clocking issues: setup and hold time, clock skew, and jitter. • Pipeline architecture for microprocessors. • System-Level Design for Multicore Architectures. • Hardware Acceleration and FPGA. • C/C++, Perl, Python, and Linux environment. • Validating load board schematic design on testers. Additional Compensation and Benefit Elements With competitive compensation and great benefits, you will enjoy our workstyle within an environment of shared collaboration, transparency, and inclusivity.
