Sr Staff Analog Layout Engineer
Marvell TechnologyJob Title
Sr Staff Analog Layout Engineer
Role Summary
Senior analog layout engineer on Marvell Central Engineering AMS-IP team responsible for creating and verifying high-speed SerDes and other analog mixed-signal layouts. The role supports lab validation and SoC production across Marvell products and works within the San Diego design organization.
Experience Level
Senior (Sr Staff). The posting provides experience guidance: typically 4–7 years with a Bachelor’s degree or 2–4 years with a Master’s/PhD, though the title and responsibilities indicate a senior-level role.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include custom analog layout, verification, and collaboration with circuit designers to meet project specifications and timelines.
- Design and optimize analog mixed-signal layouts (RX, TX, PLL and related blocks).
- Floorplanning and full-custom layout implementation to schematic specifications.
- Perform layout verification and fixes: DRC, LVS, ANT, LUP, ESD, PERC and ERC checks.
- Work closely with circuit designers, validation, and cross-functional teams to meet project schedules.
- Maintain detailed documentation of layout methodology, design decisions, and verification results.
- Mentor and guide junior layout engineers.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience for successful performance in this role.
- Proficiency with custom-layout CAD tools such as Cadence Virtuoso (preferred); experience with Mentor Graphics or Synopsys Custom Compiler acceptable.
- Familiarity with LVS, DRC, ERC, antenna rules, EM/IR analysis, ESD, and layout parasitic extraction (PERC/LUP).
- Experience with FinFET processes and mixed-signal layout constraints.
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering teams.
- Demonstrated ability to mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership in layout tasks.
- Nice-to-have: experience with advanced TSMC process nodes (5nm, 3nm, 2nm).
Education Requirements
Options listed in the posting: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (with 4–7 years of relevant experience); or a Master’s degree or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (with 2–4 years of relevant experience). No certifications were specified. Equivalent-experience language was not provided.
