Principal Product Engineer
About The Position
Marvell’s Networking and Compute Product Engineering organization provides technical leadership during product development and new product introduction (NPI). Working across business units and with design engineering, operations, program management, quality, and leadership, the team guides technologies from early development into production-ready silicon. Product Engineering ensures technical rigor, manufacturability, and readiness for customer deployment by connecting architecture, silicon behavior, manufacturing realities, and business constraints. The organization supports next-generation compute and AI-driven infrastructure, including products deployed at scale in hyperscale data centers and emerging AI workloads. The Principal Product Engineer will lead technical decision-making from development through production, serve as a primary technical stakeholder during NPI, and guide teams through characterization, debug, qualification, and readiness discussions. The role aligns cross-functional teams on technically sound solutions, establishes and defends product quality, reliability, performance, and cost targets, leads technical risk and tradeoff assessments, and represents Product Engineering with customers and internal leadership.
