Responsibilities

Develop behavioral and functional models of key SerDes and D2D DSP blocks, including adaptation loops, timing recovery, and receiver signal processing functions
Implement DSP algorithms and prototypes in C/C++, with Python for configuration, automation, and visualization
Build parameterized system-level models to support architecture evaluation for SerDes up to 448G
Perform simulation-level analysis across DSP, channel, and system blocks to isolate issues and unexpected behaviors
Reproduce complex edge cases and support other DSP and RTL engineers with algorithm-level root-cause analysis
Correlate silicon/lab observations with system-model predictions to accelerate debug and refinement
Integrate S-parameters, jitter/noise sources, device impairments, and IBIS-AMI elements into unified system simulations
Support and expand scikit-rf-based and ADS-based TDR/TDT/SBR pipelines for channel characterization and documentation
Evaluate higher-order PAM performance under real-world signal integrity constraints
Work closely with other DSP engineers to convert conceptual ideas and algorithmic approaches into executable C/C++ models
Provide evidence-backed insights in early-phase development to de-risk DSP and RTL implementations
Use system models to debug silicon performance gaps, timing issues, equalization behaviors, and adaptation anomalies
Create simulation scenarios that mirror lab conditions to accelerate bring-up
Provide validation and AE teams with modeling-based analysis and recommendations
Develop reusable C/C++ and Python modules for parameter sweeps, batch simulations, data pipelines, and visualization dashboards
Contribute to Marvell’s world class internal system simulator, enabling reproducible modeling workflows across teams
