Your Team, Your Impact

Built on decades of expertise and execution, Marvell’s custom Processor/ASIC solution offers a differentiated approach with a best-in-class portfolio of data infrastructure intellectual property (IP) and a wide array of flexible business models. In this unique role, you’ll have the opportunity to work on both the physical design and methodology for future designs of our next-generation, high-performance processor chips in a leading-edge CMOS process technology, targeted at server, 5G/6G, automotive, and networking applications.

What You Can Expect

• You will work with a global team on both the physical design of complex chips as well as the methodology to enable an efficient and robust design process.
• Every day, you’ll be working hands-on to triage workflows, whether you’re running RTL code through synthesis and place and route (PnR) tools to create the physical view of the chip, analyzing performance by running timing analysis, verifying a robust power grid by performing EMIR analysis, etc.
• There are many sign-off checks that need to happen to verify that the database is ready to move on to the next level, and it’s your responsibility to review completed runs for errors or create optimizations from successful runs.  

What We're Looking For

• Have completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related fields and have 1-3 years of related professional experience OR a Master’s degree and/or PhD in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related fields. In your coursework, you must have completed a digital logic course and projects that involved circuit design, testing, and timing analysis.
• Have work or course experience where you created and tested a logic block, then were able to look at the quality of results to ID improvements.
• Know formulas for timing analysis and concepts for synthesis and place and route.
• Enjoy learning by doing the work and having access to guides and a mentor.
• Be willing to raise your hand and volunteer for learning opportunities you may not have experienced before.

Additional Compensation and Benefit Elements

• Competitive salary, plus 13th-month salary and performance-based bonus

• RSUs (Restricted Stock Units) for new joiners and on-going annually

• Premium health & accident insurance for you and your family (spouse and children)

• Annual medical check-up at a designated hospital arranged by Marvell

• Generous paid leave policies: 15 annual leave days, 3 Recharge periods per year (company-wide off-work from Friday to Monday), 5 paid sick leave days, 3 days of volunteer time-off and 11 public holidays

• Exciting Employee Events: Participate in fun activities throughout the year such as team birthdays, sports tournaments, company trips, mid-autumn, appreciation week, charity, health seminars, year-end party, and more.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or protected veteran status.
