Your Team, Your Impact

As an Analog Layout Staff Engineer with Marvell, We are building next-generation 50G/100G optical link solutions for data-centric computing, leveraging advanced silicon photonics integrated with cutting-edge CMOS electronics. We're looking for a highly skilled AMS Layout Design Engineer to architect and implement high-speed analog and mixed-signal circuits for our photonic transceivers and electronic ICs (EICs).

You’ll work closely with our Analog and Mixed Signal (AMS) team to deliver scalable, low-power, high-performance EICs in leading edge technology processes for optical compute and interconnects.

What You Can Expect

• Working with global teams across Cannada, the U.S., and INDIA, you will do layouts and verifications using Cadence Virtuoso, collaborating closely with the designer to refine and debug iteratively until the design meets specifications. Project durations vary from a few months to a year and a half with flexibility to switch based on changing priorities is appreciated.
• To be successful in this role, you must:
• Have fundamental understanding of electrical concepts, likely acquired through a degree in Electrical Engineering (graduate or undergraduate).
• Design the physical layout of high-speed SERDES circuits in FinFET technologies (5nm and below), including TX, RX, PLL, CDR, and equalization blocks.
• Own and drive the floor planning, transistor-level layout, and full custom mask design of analog, mixed-signal, and high-speed digital blocks.
• Collaborate closely with circuit design teams to understand schematic requirements, optimize layout for performance, area, and power, and ensure first-pass silicon success.
• Perform advanced layout techniques for signal integrity, device matching, and low-noise design in high-speed and high-density environments.
• Execute parasitic extraction (PEX) and work with circuit designers for layout-versus-schematic (LVS), DRC closure, and post-layout simulation and optimization.
• Apply strong understanding of ESD, latch-up, and reliability considerations to layout design practices.
• Maintain schedule ownership of layout milestones, working with program managers and stakeholders to meet aggressive project timelines.
• Utilize industry-standard EDA tools (Cadence Virtuoso) and scripting (Skill, Python, etc.) to automate and optimize layout tasks and verification flows.

What We're Looking For

• Education: BE/B.Tech or MS/M.Tech in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Microelectronics, or related fields.
• 4+ years of experience in AMS Layout Design.
• Hands-on Layout Experience in high-speed SERDES architectures
• Hand-on Layout Experience in Advanced FinFET technology nodes
• You should be highly skilled in the following areas:
• Cadence Virtuoso and SKILL
• AMS Layout Verification flows (DRC, LVS, EMIR) and chip assembly techniques
• Working closely with AMS Design Engineers to ensure the intent of design is built in Layout
• Excellent communication skills are necessary to work with multiple domain experts, such as digital/VLSI, Photonics, and packaging.
