Your Team, Your Impact

As a Digital IC Design Senior Staff Manager with Marvell .

The Emulation Center of Excellence (CoE) plays a critical role in:

• Delivering scalable emulation infrastructure
• Enabling pre-silicon validation
• Driving software readiness and post-silicon success
  In this role, you will lead and contribute to emulation of key subsystems including:
• Boot and Security
• High-speed interfaces: PCIe, CXL, Ethernet
• Memory subsystems: DDR, HBM
• Low-speed peripherals: SPI, I2C, UART
• USB 3.0

What You Can Expect

• Lead the development of complex SoC emulation models, including design

integration, environment setup, compilation, and debug across industry-leading platforms

(e.g., Veloce, Ze Bu, Palladium).

• Drive emulation bring-up activities, including clock/reset sequencing, firmware boot,

and system validation using pre-silicon hardware models.

• Create and execute emulation test plans to support verification, performance

analysis, software development, and system validation needs across multiple teams.

• Collaborate closely with RTL design, verification, and firmware teams to define

requirements, develop accurate hardware models, and ensure seamless integration into

the emulation environment.

• Debug complex SoC and subsystem issues across RTL, firmware, emulation

platforms, and toolchain interactions.

• Optimize emulation performance, including model partitioning, timing, and runtime

efficiency.

• Automate flows and improve productivity through scripting (Python, Perl, Tcl, shell)

and tooling enhancements.

• Interface with EDA vendors (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens) to evaluate tool

capabilities, resolve technical issues, and drive feature improvements.

• Define and execute emulation strategy for complex So Cs across multiple subsystems

(Boot, Security, PCIe, CXL, DDR, HBM, USB, Ethernet, and peripherals)

• Develop and drive subsystem-level and full-chip emulation test plans

• Enable pre-silicon validation of firmware, boot flows, and security features

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to bring up and debug:o PCIe / CXL link and protocol issues

o DDR / HBM initialization and performance validation

o Ethernet and USB 3.0 integration

o Low-speed peripheral functionality (SPI, I2C, UART)

• Enable firmware and software teams by providing stable and scalable emulation

environments

.

• Having passion in technology; being flexible, goal oriented, good team leader and player.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

What We're Looking For

• Master’s Degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or related fields with coursework in digital circuit design.

• Proven design engineering leadership.

• 12+ years of hand-on experience in digital design, running EDA tools for logic synthesis, timing analysis and formal verification..

• Strong experience in SoC emulation, validation, and debug

• Expertise in one or more domains:

o Boot flow and system initialization

o Security architecture and validation

o High-speed protocols: PCIe, CXL, Ethernet

o Memory interfaces: DDR, HBM

o Peripheral interfaces: SPI, I2C, UART, USB 3.0

• Deep understanding of SoC architecture, interconnects, and system-level integration

• Hands-on experience with emulation platforms (Palladium, Ze Bu, Veloce)

• Strong debugging skills across HW/SW boundary

• Proficiency in scripting: Python, Perl, Tcl, Shell

• Proven ability to lead cross-functional efforts and drive execution
