Your Team, Your Impact

Join our Central Physical Design team as a Senior Staff Physical Design Engineer, where you will work alongside a talented group of engineers responsible for backend design services across Marvell's System-on-Chip (SoC) portfolio. This team supports the physical design needs of multiple SoC design groups and operates at the heart of Marvell's mission to deliver high-performance, low-power, and reliable custom Processor and ASIC solutions for applications in server, optical DSP, and networking.

What You Can Expect

In this Senior Staff role, you will play a critical part in place and route (PNR) performance and physical verification, bringing Marvell's next-generation high-performance chips to market. With your expertise, you'll tackle complex challenges across place and route, timing closure, and signal integrity, and physical verification, ensuring robust, reliable, and high-speed SoC designs. Your contributions will help Marvell maintain its competitive edge in the data infrastructure sector, and you'll be instrumental in delivering high-quality silicon for Marvell's diverse customer base.

  • Hands-On Physical Design and Verification:
    • Lead physical design tasks, including floorplan, placement, clock tree synthesis and routing. Timing and power optimizations to meet target power-performance metrics.
    • Lead physical verification tasks, including Design Rule Checking (DRC), Layout Versus Schematic (LVS), and antenna checks, ensuring high-quality designs meet foundry requirements.
    • Take ownership of block- and chip-level PNR, from floor planning and clock tree synthesis to routing and timing closure, with a focus on delivering efficient, manufacturable designs.
  • Advanced Design Methodologies:
    • Engage in the development of cutting-edge physical design flows and methodologies, leveraging best practices in backend design to streamline operations and improve design outcomes.
    • Collaborate with frontend, integration, and backend teams to drive successful tapeouts, supporting a robust design process that enables seamless cross-functional teamwork.
  • Process Automation and Efficiency Optimization:
    • Develop scripts and process automation (Makefile, Tcl, Perl) to improve design flow efficiency, streamline repetitive tasks, and ensure consistent, reliable outcomes across projects.
    • Contribute to Marvell's mission by innovating physical design workflows that meet tight schedules without compromising quality.

What We're Looking For

  • Education & Experience:
    • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
    • 6+ years of hands-on experience in physical design and verification for advanced CMOS process nodes (e.g., 7nm, 5nm, or below).
  • Technical Expertise:
    • Proven track record of independently handling chip-level P&R and successful tapeouts of complex SoC chips under rigorous deadlines.
    • Proficient with industry-standard EDA tools, including Cadence Genus and Innovus, Synopsys IC Compiler, Fusion Compiler, and verification tools like Calibre.
    • Strong understanding of static timing analysis tools (Tempus, PrimeTime) and power integrity analysis tools (Voltus, PrimeRail).
    • Expertise in extraction (QRC, StarRC) and formal verification (LEC, Formality).
    • Working knowledge in physical verification, LVS and DRC checks.
  • Programming & Automation Skills:
    • Proficiency in scripting with Makefile, Tcl, Perl to automate physical design workflows and improve operational efficiency.
  • Key Attributes:
    • Detail-oriented and self-motivated, with strong teamwork skills and effective communication abilities.

Marvell offers the opportunity to work on challenging designs that shape the future of data infrastructure. As a Senior Staff Physical Design Engineer specializing in Physical Verification and PNR, you'll be a part of a supportive, innovative environment where your technical expertise drives meaningful impact on projects across a range of applications.

Estimated Annual Salary Range:$121,840 - $182,500
