Principal Analog/Mixed Signal CAD Engineer - EMIR
About The Position
Marvell is seeking a Principal Analog/Mixed-Signal CAD Engineer for its Central Engineering organization in Santa Clara, California, or Irvine, California. The engineer will develop and support design automation infrastructure for analog, mixed-signal, and silicon photonics IC development. The role focuses on electromigration and IR-drop (EMIR) analysis for advanced FinFET, BiCMOS, SiGe, and silicon photonics technologies, and influences design methodologies and automation frameworks used by design teams across the company. The position is based in a Marvell office and requires onsite presence five days per week; remote and hybrid work are not available. The engineer will collaborate with analog and mixed-signal designers, silicon photonics engineers, foundry partners, EDA vendors, and device modeling and TCAD specialists. The role includes technical leadership in CAD infrastructure and design-flow practices across global engineering teams.
Requirements
- Strong hands-on experience with Cadence Voltus-XFi.
- BSEE with 10–15 years of professional experience, or an MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering with 5–10 years of industry experience.
- Proven experience building and maintaining analog/mixed-signal design flows for advanced FinFET, BiCMOS, SiGe, and silicon photonics technologies.
- Strong hands-on experience with industry-standard AMS design tools, including Cadence Virtuoso Studio, Synopsys OptoCompiler, and Siemens Calibre.
- Solid understanding of analog/mixed-signal design flows, including schematic capture, simulation, parasitic extraction, post-layout verification, and EMIR.
- Programming or scripting experience in Python, TCL, Shell, and SKILL.
- Experience developing custom CAD automation or verification frameworks.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
Nice To Haves
