Entry Level Professional - Digital Design Engineer (Summer 2024 Start)
About the position
As an Entry Level Professional - Digital Design Engineer at Marvell, you will play a crucial role in the Custom Compute & Storage Business unit, where your primary responsibility will be to verify the circuitry that goes inside our chips designed for the general market and specific customers. These chips utilize cutting-edge technology to facilitate high-speed data transfers, and your work will ensure that each design meets the specifications set by our diverse clientele, which includes major telecom organizations and automotive companies. In this hybrid in-office/work-from-home role based in Westboro, MA, you will be involved in designing key components of System-On-Chips (SOCs) for Marvell's next generation of Accelerated Infrastructure processors. You will collaborate closely with architects, verification teams, physical design engineers, and other logic designers throughout the design process, which includes requirements specification, design execution, debugging, and achieving timing closure. Your ability to specify and present designs for review will be essential, as you will need to ensure that they meet feature, area, and performance requirements, as well as software programming needs. Your responsibilities will also include coding designs in Verilog, adhering to best RTL design practices to meet area estimates, targeted clock frequencies, and clock-domain-crossing requirements. You will support simulation-based and formal verification processes, explaining design behavior, defining stimulus and assertions, and debugging any issues that arise. Additionally, you will analyze static timing reports to optimize your logic and achieve timing closure. Participation in group-wide user and methodology groups will also be part of your role, allowing you to contribute to advancing general knowledge and best practices in chip design.
