Principal SoC Verification
Marvell TechnologyJob Title
Principal SoC Verification
Role Summary
Lead the architecture and implementation of functional verification environments for advanced multi-core SoCs, including verification methodology, reference models, and verification tools. This role helps establish Marvell's San Diego design verification organization and supports custom AI/XPU and XPU‑attach SoC programs.
Join the Custom Compute Solutions Business Unit (CCSBU) San Diego team to partner with customers and internal stakeholders to deliver high-quality customer silicon and shape the verification culture and processes.
Experience Level
Senior-level — typically 10–15+ years of verification and firmware/software development experience with a BS; 5–10+ years with an MS/PhD.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Design verification environment architecture: reference models, bus-functional monitors/drivers, and overall methodology.
- Write verification test plans using random techniques and coverage analysis; ensure test plan completeness with designers.
- Develop verification tests, tune environments to meet coverage goals, debug failures, and collaborate with designers to resolve issues.
- Verify boot code and develop/maintain software tools to streamline scalable, parallel multi-core SoC design.
- Translate engineering requirements into usable, scalable software tools and automation.
- Perform unit and regression testing of verification infrastructure and tools.
Requirements
Must-have skills and attributes:
- Strong SoC verification and testbench development experience with UVM, SystemVerilog, C/C++, and DPI.
- Deep understanding of verification methodology: object-oriented techniques, white-box/black-box testing, directed/random testing, and coverage-driven verification.
- Experience with gate-level simulations, data structures, and debugging complex hardware/software interactions.
- Experience developing and maintaining verification tools and automation for multi-core environments.
- Effective interpersonal and teamwork skills; strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and the ability to analyze data and draw conclusions.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science with 10–15+ years of relevant verification and software/firmware experience; or a Master's or PhD with 5–10+ years of relevant experience. Equivalent practical experience is acceptable.
