Your Team, Your Impact

As a Staff Logic Equivalence Engineer, you'll be part of Marvell's CAD team, developing the Equivalence Checking infrastructure that underpins design integrity across Marvell's various Business Units. Your work ensures that RTL-to-Gate and Gate-to-Gate transformations preserve functional correctness, directly enabling confident, high-quality tape-outs across the company's product lines.

What You Can Expect

• Develop and maintain leading-edge Equivalence Checking flows addressing the needs of Marvell's various Business Units.
• Apply strong debugging capabilities to root-cause and resolve equivalence issues.
• Contribute to seamless RTL2Gate and Gate2Gate logic equivalence flow development, including understanding of pin constraints, don't-verify points, and other considerations based on DFT requirements.
• Work closely with the synthesis and DFT teams to ensure a seamless handoff into the equivalence flow.
• Contribute to functional ECO flows.
• Contribute to low-power checks within the equivalence methodology.
• Support the deployment and ongoing support of these flows.
• Collaborate with the broader team to ensure optimal integration within the overall CAD platform.
• Develop innovative solutions to address ever-increasing design challenges.
• Stay current with evolving processes and tools.
• Interface with EDA vendors to ensure optimal tool usage.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in EE/CS with 2+ years of hands-on experience in Equivalence Checking and functional ECO flow development.
• Recent experience with either Cadence Conformal or Synopsys Formality toolsets (experience with both is a plus).
• Solid understanding of: Synthesis transforms'-to-Gate level logic equivalence debug. Functional ECO flows. Power intent and multiple power domain management. Basic knowledge of RTL coding. Basic DFT understanding (controllability, observability, scan chain stitching) and the constraints needed for equivalence checking.
• Good level of proficiency in Tcl scripting in the context of flow development.
• Strong analysis and problem-solving skills, with the ability to think outside the box.
• Team player with good verbal and written communication skills.
