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. You will be responsible for maintaining, enhancing, and supporting Marvell's Place and Route Flow, leveraging industry-standard EDA tools. Your tasks will include performing synthesis, place and route, as well as timing analysis and closure on multiple intermediate and complex logic blocks. You will play a crucial role in developing and implementing timing and logic ECOs, collaborating closely with the RTL design team to drive modifications that address congestion and timing issues. Additionally, your involvement with the global timing team will include debugging and resolving any block-level timing issues encountered at the partition level. This position provides an exciting platform to engage with diverse engineering challenges within a collaborative and innovative environment at Marvell.
What We're Looking For
To be successful in this role you must:
- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in physical design with a focus on block-level PNR for advanced CMOS process nodes (e.g., 7nm, 5nm, or below).
- Proficient with industry-standard EDA tools for physical design, including Cadence Genus and Innovus, and Synopsys IC Compiler and Fusion Compiler.
- Strong expertise in static timing analysis tools such as Tempus or PrimeTime and EM/IR-Drop/Crosstalk analysis tools like Voltus or PrimeRail.
- Working knowledge of physical verification and formal verification tools (e.g., Calibre, LEC, Formality) is advantageous.
- Demonstrated ability to create scripts (Tcl, Perl, Makefile) for automating design processes and improving overall workflow efficiency.
- Detail-oriented, self-motivated team player with effective communication skills and a commitment to collaborative success.
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.
