Director of SoC Design

Marvell Technology•San Diego, CA

1d•$197,400 - $292,150

About The Position

Join Marvell's Custom Compute Solutions Business Unit (CCSBU) as we establish our design presence in San Diego's thriving semiconductor ecosystem. This team will be responsible for delivering high‑quality customer silicon for advanced AI, XPU, and XPU‑Attach programs. By partnering closely with customers and internal stakeholders, the design center will enable Marvell’s most strategic and financially significant custom SoC initiatives, delivering differentiated solutions that reinforce Marvell’s position as a trusted partner for next‑generation compute platforms. This is a rare foundational leadership opportunity - you'll shape design strategy from the ground up and build a world-class team as part of our strategic expansion into Southern California. You're not joining an established local team - you're building one. You'll hire the engineers, define the culture, establish the methodology, and shape the technical DNA of Marvell's San Diego design organization. As a Design Director, you’ll be responsible for collaborating with various teams to develop strategies, pushing the IP roadmap, and supporting multiple SoCs. This starts at the product definition phase with architecture and marketing then continues through execution of all efforts required including supporting productization. You’ll provide leadership in the development of highest value-add IP & SoC plans and strategies with cutting edge process, speed and performance designs. The planning and execution need to be rationalized with budget and market timing requirements. Experience and judgement in determining the value of the tasks defined and executed by the team is important. This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position, and you’ll work with thought leaders in multiple technology looking for ways to improve the value and quality of the effort while keeping cost in budget.
