Your Team, Your Impact

As a Hardware Design Engineer with Marvell, you’ll be a member of the Central Engineering business group. If you picture Marvell as a wheel, Central Engineering is the center hub providing IP to be used by all the other spokes on that wheel, including Storage, Security, and Networking. You’ll be part of the Central engineering team designing boards for many different groups at Marvell. Additionally, Marvell designs more complex chips and boards than our competitors, for higher speeds than anyone else. We’re on the leading edge of this technology and you’ll love being a part of this.

What You Can Expect

What You Will Do
•    Define system architecture for 224G and 448G PAM platforms across package, PCB, and interconnect domains
•    Lead end-to-end Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) strategy to meet system performance targets
•    Drive system-level modeling methodologies, including IEEE COM and SystemVue-based analysis
•    Establish and standardize correlation flows between simulation and lab measurement across teams
•    Provide technical leadership across hardware, SI, package, and system engineering functions
•    Lead complex system-level debugging and root-cause analysis activities
•    Influence design standards, best practices, and future high-speed technology directions
•    Engage with customers, vendors, and industry forums on advanced high-speed design topics

As part of the Central Engineering team, you will contribute to the design, implementation, and validation of critical SoC validation platforms. This includes defining SI specifications, developing implementation guidelines for internal and external design teams, and performing simulations to ensure high-quality design outcomes. You will collaborate closely with package design and SI teams to ensure alignment and deep understanding of package and board interactions.
This role is an individual contributor position within a multidisciplinary hardware and software organization responsible for end-to-end development 

What We're Looking For

•    Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field 
•    Typically 10–15+ years of experience
