Your Team, Your Impact

The Marvell Advanced Packaging Design team is responsible for supporting customers with package solutions that meet challenging electrical requirements. High speed signaling and complex power delivery networks require new and custom solutions to meet constantly advancing application needs. Many of the new designs require multi-chip and multiple component configurations with high-speed IP requirements. In addition, our team is advancing Marvell's expertise in 3D packaging, Co-packaged optics and cutting-edge substrate materials. We work with the world's leading manufacturers to solve our client's most challenging designs and integrations with industry-leading packaging techniques.

What You Can Expect

We are looking for an experienced engineer to join our Advanced Packaging Design team in Burlington, VT as a Package Design Verification Specialist. In this role, you will be the gatekeeper of design quality, responsible for running critical verification flows including DRC, LVS and DFM.

A core focus of this position is driving process refinement and efficiency. You will champion a "shift-left" approach, integrating physical design validation earlier into the development cycle to catch errors sooner, accelerate time-to-market, and optimize overall design execution, while also executing and owning physical verification of package designs.

We are looking for an engineer who wants to step up and own process improvement and execution on product. In this role, you will be running DRC, LVS, and DFM while actively executing physical design validation workflows to help our design team catch errors long before final tape-out

Key Responsibilities

Physical Verification Execution: Own and execute comprehensive PKG floor-planning Checks, DRC (Design Rule Checking), LVS (Layout Versus Schematic), and DFM (Design for Manufacturability) flows for complex, multi-die advanced packaging architectures.

Shift-Left Methodology: Refine and optimize engineering workflows by implementing automated validation checkpoints early in the design cycle to minimize late-stage layout iterations.

Process Optimization: Identify bottlenecks in the current verification pipeline and help develop automated scripts, custom methodologies, or enhanced design kits to boost layout efficiency.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Package Architects, Physical Layout Designers, and Supply Partners to resolve complex violation reports and interpret cutting-edge foundry design rules.

Documentation & Training: Author clear engineering documentation for newly established verification processes and train other members on these methodologies.

What We're Looking For

Education:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, and 3+ years of experience in semiconductor design or manufacturing roles

Technical Expertise:

Proven experience driving quality improvement, design or process validation.

Strong analytical mindset with a passion for finding structural gaps in engineering workflows.

Excellent communication skills to bridge the gap between R&D architects, layout designers, tool vendors, and external suppliers.

Ability to work in a fast-paced, highly collaborative R&D environment.

Automation & Scripting: Strong scripting skills (TCL, Python, Perl, or Skill) to execute and automate verification tasks and data analysis.

The ideal candidate will have the following experience, though not strictly required in order to be considered for the position:

Running and debugging DRC, LVS, and DFM on complex silicon or packaging layouts.

Experience with industry-standard physical verification tools (e.g., Siemens Calibre, Synopsys IC Validator, or Cadence Pegasus).

Advanced Packaging Knowledge: Familiarity with advanced packaging technologies (e.g., 2.5D/3D IC, Chiplets, CoWoS, silicon interposers, or high-density fan-out architecture).

Expected Base Pay Range (USD)

142,700 - 211,230, $ per annum

The successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location and market conditions. The expected base pay range for this role may be modified based on market conditions.

This role is eligible to participate in Marvell's bonus and equity plans, including a new hire equity grant and annual equity refreshers, ensuring you are rewarded for your contributions and remain invested in the company's long-term success.
