Your Team, Your Impact

What You Can Expect

• Own and define DFT strategy and methodology for complex Subsystem in ASIC/SoC programs, ensuring scalability, robustness, and alignment with Marvell's product roadmap.

• Architect advanced DFT solutions (scan, MBIST, OCC, boundary scan, hierarchical flows, SSN/IJTAG).

• Lead cross?functional collaboration with RTL, synthesis, physical design, verification, and product engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of DFT features.

• Establish best practices and standards for DFT implementation, SpyGlass DFT rule compliance, and testability sign?off across projects.

• Drive automation initiatives by developing and deploying scripting solutions (TCL, Python, Perl, Shell) to improve efficiency, coverage, and repeatability of flows.

• Mentor and guide junior and mid?level engineers, fostering technical growth and ensuring consistent methodology execution across the organization.

• Influence design architecture decisions by providing early DFT input to maximize test coverage and minimize silicon risk.

• Lead pre?silicon validation and post?silicon bring?up efforts, ensuring first?time?right silicon and smooth transition to production test.

• Partner with product/test engineering to optimize yield, reduce test cost, and improve overall quality metrics.

• Represent Marvell in technical forums (internal and external) by contributing to DFT innovation, tool evaluations, and industry standards.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's/ Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, VLSI, or related field with 5 to 12 years of experience in DFT for complex ASIC/SoC designs.

• Strong fundamentals in Digital Circuit Design and Logic Design.

• Proven expertise in:

  • Scan insertion and ATPG tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor).

  • MBIST/OCC validation flows.

  • Hierarchical DFT and SDC constraint management.

  • SSN design and IEEE 1687 IJTAG standards for embedded instrumentation.

  • SpyGlass DFT rules for design quality and testability compliance.

• Solid understanding of RTL design, synthesis, STA, and physical design flows.

• Hands?on scripting experience (TCL, Python, Perl, Shell, etc.) for automation and flow development.

• Hands?on experience with silicon bring?up, debug, and production test optimization.

• Experience mentoring junior engineers and driving technical growth within teams.

• Demonstrated ability to lead cross?functional teams, influence design architecture, and establish DFT best practices.

• Excellent problem?solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
