Your Team, Your Impact

The Marvell Advanced Packaging team is responsible for package design and technology development to meet the electrical, mechanical, thermal, and system requirements of next-generation High-Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and networking solutions.

The team focuses on signal integrity, power integrity, thermal integrity, mechanical integrity, processability, manufacturability, and reliability. This work involves high-speed signaling and complex power delivery networks (PDNs) that require innovative and customized solutions to meet constantly evolving customer needs.

Many of these new designs require multi-chip, multi-component configurations, including but not limited to 2.5D and 3D packages, co-packaged copper or optical solutions, and advanced substrates.

Marvell has partnered with the world's leading manufacturers to solve our customers' most challenging design and integration problems through industry-leading packaging technologies.

What You Can Expect

• Lead small project teams of design and simulation engineers to deliver innovative, high-quality packaging solutions.

• Drive package definition and architecture development for performance-line products and/or thermal-mechanical development vehicles utilizing cutting-edge packaging technologies.

• Interface with package suppliers to select appropriate packaging technologies and ensure manufacturability, while meeting performance, reliability, and cost requirements.

What We're Looking For

• Extensive experience in substrate and/or board design for advanced packaging technologies.

• Solid understanding of design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and reliability principles, as well as electrical performance considerations, with the ability to make appropriate trade-off decisions.

• Proven ability to lead complex package architecture development projects involving relevant internal stakeholders, external partners, and customers.

• Expertise in industry-standard tools and workflows, including Cadence 3DIC, ISP, APD, and SiP.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field with 15+ years of relevant professional experience; Master's degree with 12+ years of relevant professional experience; or Ph.D. with 8+ years of relevant professional experience.

Skills Needed to Be Successful in This Role

• Innovative thinking and a fundamental understanding of design rules, breakout, placement and routing, signal shielding, reference planes, power distribution, and pinout development while considering overall package and system requirements.

• Experience with current-generation HBM, DDR, SerDes, D2D, D2H, ADC, DAC, PCIe, Ethernet, and related technologies.

• Strong understanding of signal and power integrity across substrate, board, package, and system levels.

• Distinct examples of leading package design for manufacturing and reliability, including thermal-mechanical development vehicle design and testing.

• Understanding of advanced 2.5D and 3D packaging technologies, including:

  • CoWoS-S/R/L

  • EMIB

  • CPO

  • CPC

• Familiarity with tools and workflows such as Cadence Sigrity, Clarity, Innovus, Virtuoso, Ansys, AutoCAD, and SolidWorks.

• Experience contributing to tool, process, and workflow development, as well as library maintenance.

• Experience collaborating with chip design and electrical simulation teams to optimize designs. Familiarity with running and interpreting signal and power integrity simulations is a plus.

• Ability to manage programs involving cross-functional teams. Strong interpersonal skills, a willingness to learn, and the ability to work effectively with stakeholders across multiple global time zones are essential.

• Strong communication, presentation, and documentation skills.
