Staff Applications Engineering - Network Validation

Your Team, Your Impact

This team's work is essential to Marvell's ability to deliver reliable, high-performance SSD chipsets. Without this team's execution, Marvell would lack the critical post-silicon validation needed to ensure that Storage SoCs function correctly, meet performance targets, and operate within power specifications before reaching customers.

This team is responsible for designing and executing post-silicon validation tests during R&D, developing bare-metal software, and validating Storage SoCs across pre-silicon and post-silicon phases. Day-to-day work includes developing testing applications, analyzing results, and preparing professional validation reports. Unlike similar roles at other companies, this team works on Marvell's advanced SSD controller technology within a collaborative environment that directly influences products used in enterprise, cloud, and AI data infrastructures—technology that most people recognize as the storage driving modern data centers and high-performance computing.

What You Can Expect

• Design and execute post silicon validation tests for SSD Chipsets during R&D processes
• Develop, port, and execute bare metal SW to validate Storage SoCs
• Perform Pre and Post Si testing of bare metal functionality of the Storage SoC, including performance and power
• Review and prepare test plans and test results documentation
• Develop testing and benchmarking applications
• Analyze test results and generate professional validation reports
• Provide technical support to Field Application Engineers who support customers
• Provide technical support to Test Engineers who design tests for mass production

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields and 3-5 years of related professional experience
• Master's degree and/or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields with 2-3 years of experience
• Hardware validation/applications engineer experience in Solid State Drives
• Prior experience interacting with customers
• Experience in Firmware Development under Bare Metal/Linux Environment and Debugging on SoCs for embedded Applications
• Understanding of SSD controller is preferred
• Experience in interfaces like PCIe is a plus
• Good communication skills, written and spoken
• Flexible, proactive, and able to work in a team

Pay

Expected base pay range: $111,070 - $166,400 per annum. The successful candidate's starting base pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location and market conditions. The expected base pay range for this role may be modified based on market conditions.
