Your Team, Your Impact

The Compute Custom and Storage (CCS) team at Marvell is seeking candidates for a Senior Staff Physical Design and Integration Lead engineering position. Projects within CCS range from artificial intelligence and machine learning, to wired and wireless infrastructure, with the latest technology nodes. The team utilizes the latest EDA software tools, and work through the technical challenges to insure we meet the performance, power, and area requirements of the design. This position will work in tandem with the other Physical Design related teams, such as Timing, Physical Verification, Power Integrity and other teams both at a local and global level.

What You Can Expect

• In this hybrid role at a CCS site, you will be the leader on a large complex sub-system/partition through all phases of the design
• Responsible for floorplanning a sub-system/partition, pushing down block boundary and pin assignment to team members
• Work with a variety of teams to pull in their required portion of the sub-system, such as DFT and clock distribution teams
• Leading a small group of engineers at the block level, insuring they are progressing, meeting milestones on schedule and quality, and correct deliverables

• Work closely with the block level PD engineers in debugging and resolving timing and routing issues across all hierarchical levels

• Be an active team member on physical design methodology and flow development
• Provide technical direction, coaching, and mentoring to employees on your team and others when necessary to achieve successful project outcomes

• Write scripts in Perl, Python and TCL to extract data and achieve productivity enhancements through automation

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields and 5-10 years of related professional experience. OR  Master’s degree and/or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields with 3-5 years of experience.
• 3 years practical experience in physical design at all levels of hierarchy with multiple ASICs/SOCs
• Physical design knowledge and experience, from netlist handoff to GDS tape-out
• Extensive experience with floorplanning at a sub-system/partition level, considering boundary snap of power/technology and pin assignment
• Proficient in running sub-system/partition level signoff, including physical verification (DRC and LVS), along with power integrity (EMIR)
• Experienced leading a small team of block level engineers, coordinating at the sub-system/partition level
• Good knowledge of Verilog/VHDL, and track record of collaboration with RTL team
• Good understanding of digital logic and architecture
• Proficient in UNIX, and shell based scripting
• Knowledge and experience with TCL language
• Diligent, detail-oriented, and able to handle assignments with minimal supervision
• Must possess good communication skills, be a self-driven individual and a good team player

Preferred Qualifications (in addition to the minimum qualifications)

• 5 years practical experience as a leader of a small team at the sub-system/partition level for multiple ASICs/SOCs
• Worked with timing and clock teams on planning and integration of high speed clock distribution
• 5nm/3nm experience with floor planning
• Floorplanning and Physical Design with Cadence Innovus
• Physical Verification with Siemens Calibre
• Power Integrity Signoff with Cadence Voltus
• Peripheral IO Pad assignment and associated RDL
• Bump assignment planning and collaboration with fullchip and package team
• Experience with Analog IP integration and implementation
• Knowledge and experience with Python language
• Experience with low power design methodology and implementation
• Have led or participated in Physical Design and Integration methodology and flow development
