Hardware and Silicon Validation Engineer

Role Overview

The Data Center Engineering (DCE) group in Westlake Village is responsible for post-silicon design validation of broadband analog amplifiers, analog validation of DSP products, high-speed device modeling, integrated optics and Silicon Photonics design validation. The qualified candidate will work with a team of energetic, technically strong, multi-disciplined engineers to develop and validate broadband analog amplifiers, integrated optics and Silicon Photonics components, high-speed optical communication systems, and related subsystems that enable next-generation communication infrastructure.

What You Will Do

Perform hands-on silicon bring-up and post-silicon debug activities across analog, mixed-signal, and high-speed designs. Work cross-functionally with silicon design, system development, marketing, and test engineering teams to support validation objectives. Collaborate closely with designers to debug, analyze, document, and resolve issues identified during validation, including root-cause analysis and closure tracking.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The successful candidate will be part of the Subsystem Development team, contributing to system board-level hardware design, software scripting and automation, and test and validation of Marvell's communication integrated circuits (ICs), Silicon Photonics devices, and subsystem solutions. The role provides opportunities to broaden technical depth, expand system-level responsibility, and grow across a wide range of engineering disciplines over time.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Software Engineering
• 3-5 years of professional experience in post-silicon validation, RF, microwave, or optical interconnect validation
• Solid understanding of silicon validation of mixed-signal, analog, and digital ICs and functional blocks
• Good understanding of microwave and RF test and measurement techniques
• Proficiency in C, C++, and/or Python software development for test, automation, and data analysis
• Ability to work across disciplines and manage time effectively across multiple concurrent tasks
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Benefits

• Employee stock purchase plan with a 2-year look back
• Family support programs to help balance work and home life
• Robust mental health resources to prioritize emotional well-being
• Recognition and service awards to celebrate contributions and milestones
