What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Engineer, Physical Design position at Marvell Technology?
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
Built on decades of expertise and execution, Marvell’s custom Processor/ASIC solution offers a differentiated approach with a best-in-class portfolio of data infrastructure intellectual property (IP) and a wide array of flexible business models. In this unique role, you’ll have the opportunity to work on both the physical design and methodology for future designs of our next-generation, high-performance processor chips in a leading-edge CMOS process technology, targeted at server, 5G/6G, and networking applications.
What You Can Expect
You will work with a global team on both the physical design of complex chips as well as the methodology to enable an efficient and robust design process. Every day, you’ll be working hands-on to triage workflows, whether you’re running RTL code through synthesis and place and route (PnR) tools to create the physical view of the chip, analyzing performance by running timing analysis, verifying a robust power grid by performing EMIR analysis, etc. There are many sign-off checks that need to happen to verify that the database is ready to move on to the next level, and it’s your responsibility to review completed runs for errors or create optimizations from successful runs.
We are hiring for multiple office locations. This is a full-time, on-site role, and employees are expected to work at their designated team location. Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates.
What We're Looking For
90,400 - 133,760, $ per annum
The successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location and market conditions. The expected base pay range for this role may be modified based on market conditions.
Additional Compensation And Benefit Elements
At Marvell, we offer a total compensation package with a base, bonus and equity.Health and financial wellbeing are part of the package. That means flexible time off, 401k, plus a year-end shutdown, floating holidays, paid time off to volunteer. Have a question about our benefits packages - health or financial? Ask your recruiter during the interview process.
