Analog Layout Senior Engineer

About Marvell

Marvell’s semiconductor solutions are the essential building blocks of the data infrastructure that connects our world. Across enterprise, cloud and AI, and carrier architectures, our innovative technology is enabling new possibilities. 

At Marvell, you can affect the arc of individual lives, lift the trajectory of entire industries, and fuel the transformative potential of tomorrow. For those looking to make their mark on purposeful and enduring innovation, above and beyond fleeting trends, Marvell is a place to thrive, learn, and lead. 

Your Team, Your Impact

As an Analog Layout Senior Engineer with Marvell, you’ll be a member of the Central Engineering business group. If you picture Marvell as a wheel, Central Engineering is the center hub providing IP to be used by all the other spokes on that wheel, including Storage, Security, and Networking. You’ll be part of a small analog team making a big impact on this organization. Additionally, Marvell has the perfect size and scale for you to learn several aspects of engineering that will be new to you but also have the time and freedom to dive deep into the details of your specialization on most projects.

We are looking for an analog custom layout engineer to contribute to the development of High-Speed Connectivity, Broadband Analog and Computing/Storage-Memory Data-Transport products (including functional blocks such as high-speed digital, multi-GHz ADC/DAC, PLL/DLL serial and parallel I/O, and clock generation/distribution for custom ICs). The candidate must have a proven record of laying out high-performance analog circuits in state-of-the-art CMOS process technologies, managed a custom analog layout team, successfully performed top-level integrations, and placed products into volume production multiple times.

What You Can Expect

You will be working with global teams in Argentina, Canada, APAC, the U.S., and throughout Europe. You will receive a schematic from an Analog IC Designer. You will then take that schematic and use a CAD tool to graphically design the layers of that schematic. Then, you run verifications on the design using Cadence Virtuoso, refine and debug as needed in concert with the designer, and both of you keep iterating the design until it meets the desired specifications. 

Each project can last from a couple months to a year and a half. You will likely work on just one project in that time but may be asked to switch to something else if priorities change. Your flexibility is appreciated.  

You’ll meet every few days with the designer you’re paired with to share information and work together. No circuits get built or tested here without you both, so your partnership and teamwork is extremely valuable to Marvell. You’ll also have routine meetings with your technical mentor when you have questions, as well as the layout team and the project team where you may have to speak to the entire group and update them about your progress. These interactions include updates on progress and may involve presenting specific issues or solutions encountered during the development of cutting-edge technologies. The dynamic nature of our work ensures continuous learning and knowledge-sharing among colleagues.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer science, Electrical Engineering or related fields and at least 1-3 years of related professional experience OR Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields with no professional experience.
• Have fundamental understanding of electrical concepts, likely acquired through a degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Experienced in Cadence “Virtuoso VXL” and/or Synopsys “Custom Compiler” layout tools
• High level proficiency in interpretation of CALIBRE DRC, ERC, LVS, etc. Reports. 
• Independent with strong analytical skills, creative thinking and self-motivated. 
• Strong communication skills to give status updates to your team, present to global teams in different time zones, and to share information with many different levels of personnel at Marvell
• Fluent in English

Additional Compensation and Benefit Elements

With competitive compensation and great benefits, you will enjoy our workstyle within an environment of shared collaboration, transparency, and inclusivity.
