Your Team, Your Impact

As a Digital IC Design Staff 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 Datacenter, Storage, Security, and Networking.

This team hires some of the biggest problem solvers in Silicon and has a huge impact on the work done at Marvell. The customers served by this team are often other chip companies and big tech companies, familiar names to all candidates.
We are seeking a highly motivated RTL Design Engineer to architect and deliver next generation UCIe and high speed mixed signal IP. This role spans micro architecture definition through production quality RTL, with opportunities to act as both a strong individual contributor and a technical lead.

What You Can Expect

• Architect, design, and implement state‑of‑the‑art RTL for UCIe and other high‑speed interface IP.
• Own micro‑architecture and RTL development for medium to high‑complexity digital blocks.  
•  Drive hands‑on execution including RTL coding, synthesis, CDC/RDC analysis, linting, debugging, and support for test and bring‑up.
• Partner closely with Architecture and Verification teams to define test plans, coverage strategies, and achieve verification closure.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to IP quality, robustness, and reusability.
• Provide technical leadership by mentoring junior engineers, reviewing designs, and helping build a high‑performance design team.

What We're Looking For

Education & Experience

• BSEE/MSEE (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 5–12 years of hands‑on digital design experience delivering silicon‑proven IPs or SoCs.

Technical Skills

• Strong domain expertise in high‑speed protocols such as UCIe, Ethernet, DDR, PCIe, USB (direct UCIe experience strongly preferred).
• Extensive hands‑on experience with System Verilog/Verilog (VHDL a plus).
• Proven experience with RTL quality and sign‑off flows including Lint, CDC/RDC (e.g., SpyGlass or equivalent).
• Solid understanding of synthesis, STA, formal checking, and downstream P&R interactions.
• Good grasp of SoC architecture, including processor cores, memories, interconnects, and peripheral interfaces.

Behavioral & Leadership Skills

• Demonstrated ability to deliver production‑quality designs on aggressive schedules.
• Strong debugging, problem‑solving, and cross‑functional collaboration skills.
• Ability to take ownership, influence technical direction, and mentor less‑experienced engineers.

Nice to Have

• Experience with low‑power design techniques and clocking architectures.
• Exposure to post‑silicon debug and silicon bring‑up.
• Prior experience delivering reusable IPs across multiple products or nodes.
