Director Rtl Design Jobs (NOW HIRING)

About Marvell

Marvell's semiconductor solutions are the essential building blocks of the data infrastructure that connects our world. Across enterprise, cloud and AI, and carrier architectures, our innovative technology is enabling new possibilities.

At Marvell, you can affect the arc of individual lives, lift the trajectory of entire industries, and fuel the transformative potential of tomorrow. For those looking to make their mark on purposeful and enduring innovation, above and beyond fleeting trends, Marvell is a place to thrive, learn, and lead.

Your Team, Your Impact

The Center of Excellence (COE), part of the Custom Compute and Storage (CCS) Business Unit within Marvell's Data Center Group, is chartered to define, develop, and maintain standard, production-ready IP subsystems - spanning PCIe/CXL, Ethernet, DDR/Memory, Security/Boot, Low-Speed IO, and other critical technologies - that customers and internal SoC teams can adopt with confidence. By shifting left, the COE enables faster time-to-market, reduces integration risk, and ensures compliance, interoperability, and high performance across Marvell's SoC products. It embodies the "One Marvell" principle - sharing reusable components, verification environments, and knowledge across all business units to drive first-pass-right silicon. As part of the COE, you will design, verify, and deliver IP subsystem building blocks powering Marvell's most advanced custom chips for hyperscale cloud, AI, and data center customers - working at the intersection of architecture, RTL design, verification, firmware/software, and silicon validation.

What You Can Expect

- Define and scales RTL development, drive reuse across IP and programs

- Owns delivery of end-to-end PCIE/CXL and Memory subsystem RTL design execution and sign off

- Collaborates with architecture, DV, firmware, SOC and post-silicon teams to influence specifications early and reduce downstream risk.

- Manages distributed RTL Design teams, develops technical depth and future leaders.

- Accountable for Design schedules, risk assessment, physical design closure, and transparent communication of tapeout readiness to senior management and key stakeholders

- Review and resolve cross-program technical issues and escalations

- Engage with ecosystem partners (JEDEC, IP vendors, PHY providers) on interoperability and enablement
