Your Team, Your Impact
As an Analog Layout Principal 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 Automotive, 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.What You Can Expect
- Design and develop complex analog, mixed-signal, and custom layouts independently using Cadence Virtuoso and similar EDA tools across advanced nodes (deep sub-micron, FinFET, GAA).
- Drive end-to-end physical verification of closure, resolving DRC, LVS, ERC, and antenna violations within project timelines.
- Drive layout architecture, shielding, isolation, EM/IR optimization, and parasitic management.
- Own layout planning from floor planning to final tapeout.
- Coordinate across design, verification, package, and physical implementation teams for successful project execution.
- Support tapeout activities and resolve critical design issues under aggressive schedules.
- Lead technical discussions, layout reviews, and contribute to knowledge sharing and process improvement initiatives.
- Serve as the technical focal point for domain expertise within the team.
- Own cluster, including high-level integration and top-level layout decisions.
- Provide critical layout feedback influencing circuit quality, performance, and architecture.
- Apply strong engineering judgment to select optimal layout techniques across projects.
- Represent the layout team in cross-functional discussions and decision-making forums.
- Lead big teams or coordinate multiple macro owners to drive project convergence.
- Act as the key interface between layout and design teams, ensuring clear communication and alignment.
- Stay updated with evolving semiconductor technologies, tools, and methodologies.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's or master's degree (BE/B.Tech or MS/M.Tech) in Electronics & Communication, Electrical & Electronics, or a related field from a reputed institution.
- 15+ years of strong experience in high-speed analog, mixed-signal, and custom layout design.
- Broad exposure across multiple projects, technology nodes, and layout architectures.
- Deep understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals and layout behavior across advanced nodes.
- Proven experience in handling complex and critical IPs with end-to-end ownership.
- Expert-level proficiency in EDA tools, with the ability to influence layout flows and methodologies.
- Demonstrated ability to introduce innovative and optimized layout solutions for complex designs.
- Strong track record of delivering high-speed and/or precision analog layouts across multiple process technologies.
- Expertise in critical layout techniques such as device matching, signal flow optimization, clock routing, shielding, parasitic minimization, biasing, and robust power routing.
- Solid understanding of reliability considerations including EM/IR, latch-up prevention, ESD protection, and power planning.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to present to global teams and effectively engage stakeholders across organizational levels.
