Principal Analog and Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer

Marvell Technology•Irvine, CA

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, 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 IC Design Principal Engineer with Marvell, you’ll be a member of the Central Engineering business group. Central Engineering provides 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. 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. Seeking a Mixed Signal designer to be part of a key team designing highly sophisticated CMOS transceiver/SERDES products. Responsibilities would span architectural investigations and implementation for circuits such as PLL, DLL, ADC, regulators, amplifiers, TX, RX, CDRs etc. to meet key performance targets and performing design verification using industry standard tools such as SPICE, Spectre, MATLAB etc. Should be comfortable carrying out layout activities in nanometric technologies and be able to supervise physical design. Should be able to work in the lab independently or with test engineers to characterize, debug and validate designs. Would be required to generate design related documents, application specifications etc. and may support customers and FAEs as needed. May be required to interface with digital and SOC teams to facilitate design integration and cross-functional verifications.

Requirements
