Your Team, Your Impact

Marvell’s high-speed DSPs are at the forefront of developing a PAM/Coherent ecosystem, providing low-power, high-performance solutions for cloud data center infrastructure, service providers, AI networks, enterprises, and 5G.

This team hires some of the biggest problem solvers in Silicon and has a huge impact on the work done at Marvell. The customers served by this team are often other chip companies and big tech companies, familiar names to all candidates.

You will be part of a highly-skilled, dynamic team driving the development of Marvell’s next-generation high-speed PAM/Coherent DSPs and PHY designs, which utilize cutting-edge CMOS technology.

As a member of digital design team, you will be assisting in chip design working closely with architecture team, verification team, supporting back-end teams and timing closure

What You Can Expect

What You Can Expect

• Define the sub system architecture, micro-architecture and register specifications for highly complex SoCs. Drive and participate in specification writeup
• working with the architecture team to understand the feature enhancement needs
• Develop overall efficient RTL using (System)Verilog, synthesis, and backend resources.
• Integrate internal and external vendor IPs.
• Design, debug, and support ICs, IPs and block DFT
• Ensuring all quality criteria is met.
• Work closely with the architecture, floorplanning, backend, verification, DFT, STA teams and other cross functional teams to produce high quality hardware.
• participate in various aspects of chip design RTL development, DFT design, synthesis, static timing analysis, formal equivalence, RTL lint, cross clock domain (CDC) analysis and functional verification.
• Work with the Verification team on pre-silicon verification tasks.
• Assist in design automation of various aspects of the CAD EDA flow.
• Collaborate with and provide guidance to the post silicon and software teams for prototype bring up and performance tuning
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams consisting of architects, designers, verification, physical design, and software/firmware engineers.
• Provide mentorship to the more junior team members

What We’re Looking For

• Candidate must have a MS/PhDdegree in EE or related technical field(s) and 10 years of related professional experience.
• Fluent in RTL coding design techniques. Experience, DFT, resets, LEC, Lint, etc
