About the Role

Join Marvell's custom Processor/ASIC solution team to work on the physical design and methodology for next-generation, high-performance processor chips. This role offers the opportunity to impact data infrastructure and drive innovation in server, 5G/6G, and networking applications.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and lead the development of next-generation physical design methodologies and automation flows.
  • Provide deep technical leadership in RTL-to-GDSII implementation, including synthesis, floorplanning, place and route, clock tree synthesis, and timing closure.
  • Serve as a key technical advisor across multiple projects, influencing design decisions and resolving complex implementation challenges.
  • Collaborate with global cross-functional teams, including RTL, verification, and CAD, to ensure cohesive and optimized design execution.
  • Mentor and coach senior and junior engineers, fostering technical growth and promoting best practices across the organization.
  • Evaluate and drive adoption of emerging EDA tools and technologies in partnership with internal CAD and external vendors.
  • Represent the physical design team in strategic technical discussions with internal and external stakeholders, contributing to roadmap planning and methodology evolution.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in back-end physical design and verification, including leadership roles.
  • Deep understanding of RTL to GDSII flows, including synthesis, place and route, clock tree synthesis, and timing closure.
  • Strong expertise in static timing analysis (e.g., PrimeTime, Tempus) and power/signal integrity tools (e.g., Voltus, RedHawk).
  • Proficient in scripting languages such as Python, Perl, Tcl, and Makefile for automation and flow development.
  • Demonstrated experience in developing and deploying physical design methodologies and flows.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to mentor junior engineers and influence cross-functional teams.
  • Experience working with EDA vendors and evaluating new tools and technologies is a plus.
  • Must be eligible to access export-controlled information as defined under applicable law.
  • Applicants may be subject to an export license review process prior to employment.
