About The Position

Marvell's semiconductor solutions are the essential building blocks of the data infrastructure that connects our world. Across enterprise, cloud and AI, automotive, 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. As an Analog Layout 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. You will be working with global teams in Argentina, Singapore, the U.S., and throughout Europe. You'll 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 simulations and 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. You may have to present a particular issue or solution you've encountered. We are developing brand new cutting-edge technologies here, so we learn new things frequently and share with our colleagues.

Requirements

Have fundamental understanding of electrical concepts, likely acquired through a degree in Electrical Engineering (graduate or undergraduate).
Have some specialized course work in analog design or layout, either as part of your Electrical Engineering degree, summer courses, or conference courses.
Know how to use CAD tools to do the implementation layers, microelectronic layers in design that go beyond the schematics.
Have excellent 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. Fluency in English is required.
