Your Team, Your Impact Built on decades of expertise and execution, Marvell’s custom Processor/ASIC solution offers a differentiated approach with a best-in-class portfolio of data infrastructure intellectual property (IP) and a wide array of flexible business models. In this unique role, you’ll have the opportunity to work on both the physical design and methodology for future designs of our next-generation, high-performance processor chips in a leading-edge CMOS process technology, targeted at server, 5G/6G, automotive, and networking applications. What You Can Expect Define and own the long-term physical design strategy and roadmap, aligned with Marvell’s product and technology direction. Lead, grow, and scale the physical design organization, including hiring, performance management, succession planning, and career development for managers and senior engineers. Set the architecture for next-generation physical design methodologies and automation flows, and drive their adoption across programs. Provide executive-level technical oversight of RTL-to-GDSII implementation across multiple concurrent programs, resolving critical implementation and schedule risks. Partner with executive leadership in RTL, verification, architecture, and CAD to ensure cohesive, optimized design execution from specification to tape-out. Establish organizational standards for quality, sign-off rigor, and design reuse that improve predictability and PPA across the portfolio. Own EDA and technology partnerships, including vendor strategy, tool evaluation, and co-development engagements. Represent Marvell’s physical design function in strategic discussions with customers, foundry partners, and external stakeholders, and contribute to company-level technology planning. Manage departmental budget and resource allocation to maximize engineering output and capability investment. What We're Looking For About the Role Marvell is seeking a Senior Director to lead the Physical Design organization across multiple product lines and global sites. You will own the physical design strategy, define the methodologies that underpin our high-performance silicon, and build a team of leaders who deliver complex, high-volume chips on schedule. You will operate at the executive level, setting technical direction, shaping roadmaps, and representing Marvell’s physical design capabilities to internal leadership and external partners. Minimum Qualifications Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. 15+ years of progressive experience in physical design and verification, including 5+ years leading multi-team or organization-level engineering groups. Proven track record of delivering multiple production tape-outs at advanced process nodes, from RTL to GDSII, with accountability for schedule, quality, and PPA outcomes. Deep expertise across the full implementation flow: synthesis, floorplanning, place and route, clock tree synthesis, timing closure, and signoff. Expert-level knowledge of static timing analysis and power/signal integrity signoff (e.g., PrimeTime, Tempus, Voltus, RedHawk), with the judgment to define signoff criteria. Demonstrated experience defining and scaling physical design methodologies, automation frameworks, and flows across large, distributed teams. Experience building, developing, and retaining high-performing engineering leaders; a record of growing talent into senior technical and management roles. Strong executive communication skills, with the ability to influence senior leadership, align cross-functional organizations, and present to external stakeholders. Preferred Qualifications Experience managing budgets, headcount planning, and vendor or EDA partnerships at the organizational level. Track record of driving EDA tool evaluation and adoption in partnership with internal CAD teams and external vendors. Experience with multi-site or global team leadership across time zones. Familiarity with scripting and flow development in Python, Perl, Tcl, and Makefile environments.
