Senior Staff Manager, Physical Design
Role Summary
Lead physical design execution for assigned SoC blocks or subsystems at Marvell's Hsinchu site, managing a team of physical design engineers and coordinating with global PD and cross-functional partners. Responsible for delivery from RTL to GDSII, meeting schedule, quality, and PPA targets.
Hands-on leadership focused on technical guidance, team development, and process improvement.
Experience Level
Senior - typically requires 10+ years of ASIC physical design and SoC implementation experience.
Responsibilities
The manager oversees project-level physical design execution and team delivery. Key duties include:
- Lead RTL-to-GDSII implementation: synthesis, floorplanning, place & route, clock tree synthesis, timing closure, power/signal integrity analysis, and physical verification.
- Manage and mentor a team: hiring, onboarding, performance feedback, and career development.
- Track schedules, identify risks early, and implement mitigation plans to ensure on-time, high-quality delivery.
- Apply and improve physical design methodologies, flows, and best practices.
- Coordinate with architecture, RTL, CAD, DFT, and timing teams to resolve design and implementation issues.
- Collaborate with global physical design teams to align execution plans and technical decisions.
- Escalate resource gaps and technical risks to leadership when necessary.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience:
- 10+ years of experience in ASIC physical design and SoC implementation.
- Proven record managing engineering teams and delivering successful SoC or subsystem tapeouts.
- Strong understanding of physical design methodologies, flows, and advanced process technologies.
- Proficiency with ASIC design flows and commonly used EDA tools.
- Strong technical problem-solving skills and effective communication with cross-functional teams.
- Ability to provide hands-on technical guidance to ensure execution and meet PPA targets.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience improving project-level physical design flows and applying automation or data-driven optimization.
- Familiarity with AI/ML-assisted features in modern physical design tools.
- Experience collaborating across multi-site or global development teams.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
