Your Team, Your Impact

As a Hardware Design Senior 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 Automotive, Storage, Security, and Networking. You’ll be part of the printed circuit board (PCB) engineering team designing boards for many different groups at Marvell. Additionally, Marvell is designing more complex chips and boards than our competitors, for higher speeds than anyone else. We’re on the leading edge of this technology and you’ll love being a part of this.

What You Can Expect

We are seeking a highly experienced and detail-oriented Senior Hardware Board Development Engineer with 10–15 years of hands-on experience in hardware system design. This role focuses on the development of evaluation boards (EVBs) and customer reference boards (CRB) for advanced SoC/ASIC platforms, including board-level architecture, high-speed signal design, and system bring-up.

You will work closely with SoC/ASIC design teams, firmware engineers, and validation teams to deliver robust reference platforms for internal and customer use. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in DDR4/DDR5, PCIe Gen4/5/6, high-speed SerDes, and power delivery networks, along with strong debugging and lab skills.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of SoC/ASIC evaluation boards, including schematic capture, PCB layout review, and component selection.
• Perform board bring-up, signal integrity validation, and system-level debugging.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support SoC/ASIC validation and customer reference designs.
• Conduct SI/PI simulations and optimize high-speed interfaces (DDR, PCIe, Ethernet).
• Generate technical documentation including schematics, BOMs, test procedures, and design guides.
• Interface with vendors and manufacturing teams for prototype builds and production support.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 10–15 years of experience in hardware development, especially in SoC/ASIC-based systems.
• Strong knowledge of DDR4/DDR5, PCIe Gen4/5/6, SerDes, and high-speed layout practices.
• Experience with SI/PI simulation tools (e.g., Sigrity, HyperLynx, ADS) is preferred.
• Proficient in lab equipment usage (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, VNA).
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
• Friendly, easygoing personality with a strong sense of teamwork.
• Proven ability to work independently and take ownership of tasks.
• Passionate about emerging technologies and continuous learning.
