Your Team, Your Impact

Central Engineering AMSIP delivers highquality analog and mixedsignal IP and verification for Marvell's advanced IPs, SoCs and platforms. The team provides scalable, reusable solutions across highspeed interfaces (SerDes, DDR, D2D, PCIe, Ethernet PHY components) and advanced process nodes (5nm, 3nm, 2nm), enabling firsttimeright silicon, reduced integration risk, and faster timetomarket through strong designverification convergence and systemlevel validation.

What You Can Expect

Role Summary

The Principal Engineer will providetechnical and methodological leadershipacross complexhighspeed SerDes, AMS, and Central Engineering verification programs. This role requires deep handson expertise combined with the ability todefine verification strategy, influence architecture, mentor senior engineers, and drive execution excellence across multiple projects and nodes.

Key Responsibilities

.Ownendtoend verification strategy and executionfor complexSerDes / AMS / mixedsignal IPsacross multiple process nodes (e.g., 5nm, 3nm, 2nm).

.Define and driveverification architecturespanning digital, AMS, firmwareassisted, and systemlevel verification.

.Leaddesignverification convergence, influencing architecture, register definition, calibration flows, and feature feasibility.

.Drive resolution ofcomplex crossdomain issuesinvolving RTL, AMS, firmware, VIPs, and silicon behaviors.

.Serve as thetechnical authority and escalation pointfor hard verification, coverage, debug, and signoff challenges.

.LeadGateLevel Simulation (GLS)strategy, poweraware verification, CDC/RDC validation, and postsilicon correlation.

.Define verification approaches fornew features.

.Mentor juniors, raising the bar ontechnical rigor, ownership, and execution discipline.

.Drivemethodology, tooling, and productivity improvements, including automation and AIassisted verification where applicable.

.Proactively identifytechnical and schedule risksand drive early mitigation across teams.

What We're Looking For

Required Technical Qualifications

.Handson experience withGLS, poweraware verification, timingaware flows, and silicon bringup support.

.Ability to analyze and debug issues spanningpresilicon to postsilicon correlation.

.Strong understanding ofsystemlevel behavior, not just blocklevel verification.

Leadership & Behavioral Expectations

.Acts as atechnical multiplier, enabling success across multiple teams and projects.

.Leads throughinfluence, credibility, and ownership, not hierarchy.

.Makessound tradeoffs under ambiguity, balancing quality, schedule, and risk.

.Communicates complex technical issues withclarity and structureto diverse audiences.

.Modelsengineering excellence, integrity, and accountability.

.Invests indeveloping others, scaling impact beyond personal execution.

NicetoHave / Differentiators

.Experience definingverification frameworks reused across IPs / programs.

.Innovation inAIassisted verification, automation, or coverage optimization.

.Publications, patents, or conference presentations (DVCon, VLSID, internal forums).

.Experience working acrossglobally distributed teamsand central engineering models.

Success Criteria

.Raises thetechnical bar and predictabilityof SerDes/AMS verification.

.Enables teams to execute fasterwithout compromising quality.

.Becomes atrusted technical voicefor architecture, verification strategy, and leadership.

.Leaves behind scalable frameworks, stronger engineers, and durable methodologies.
