About Marvell
Marvell’s semiconductor solutions are the essential building blocks of the data infrastructure that connects our world. Across enterprise, cloud and AI, and carrier architectures, our innovative technology is enabling new possibilities.
At Marvell, you can affect the arc of individual lives, lift the trajectory of entire industries, and fuel the transformative potential of tomorrow. For those looking to make their mark on purposeful and enduring innovation, above and beyond fleeting trends, Marvell is a place to thrive, learn, and lead.
Your Team, Your Impact
Marvell's Photonic Fabric™ team is building next-generation optical interconnect technology for the era of accelerated computing. As AI workloads scale, the bottleneck has shifted from compute to interconnect bandwidth, memory bandwidth, and memory capacity. Our Photonic Fabric delivers a tenfold improvement in performance and energy efficiency deployed as optical interface chiplets, optical interposers, and Optical Multi-chip Interconnect Bridges (OMIB) that integrate into customers' AI accelerators and GPUs.
You will play a key role in ensuring our SoCs are functionally correct by defining verification strategies, developing robust UVM environments, and driving continuous improvement of our verification infrastructure. This is a team that works on complex IP and SoC verification using industry-leading verification methodologies.
