Your Team, Your Impact

Marvell's Optical DSP (ODSP) team within the Connectivity Business Unit develops advanced, industry-leading ASICs for the hyperscale data center, enterprise, and AI infrastructure markets. Our products - including multi-terabit retimers, coherent DSP devices, and high-speed optical transceivers - are critical enablers for efficient, high-bandwidth data transmission across fiber optical networks and electrical interconnects at 100G+ per lane.
The ODSP team operates at the leading edge of semiconductor technology, developing chips in TSMC advanced process nodes. We are a global, multi-site engineering organization spanning Santa Clara, Ottawa, Pavia, Irvine, Vietnam, and Argentina - and we are looking for a senior experienced technical leader to serve as Hardware Chip Lead on our next-generation ODSP programs.

What You Can Expect

Chip Ownership & Program Leadership

Serve as the primary hardware technical owner for an ODSP chip program, responsible for tracking and driving progress across all hardware design phases from POR (Plan of Record) through MPR (Mass Production)

Finalize the Product Requirements Document (PRD) and bring-up requirements in collaboration with architecture, marketing, and applications engineering teams

Represent hardware engineering at all key program milestones: Pre-PA, PA, PSM, POR, Design Reviews, Tape-Out, and MPR

Coordinate and align cross-functional teams including analog design, digital design, DV, DFT, physical design, STA, firmware, validation, ATE/test engineering, product engineering, and quality

Manage and communicate program status, risks, and mitigation plans to BU engineering leadership on a regular cadence

Technical Leadership

Provide technical leadership for the full chip design, independently proposing and defining high-level technical solutions across the hardware stack

Set technical direction and drive resolution of complex, cross-disciplinary design challenges spanning analog/digital integration, high-speed SerDes, DSP datapath, and SoC architecture

Proactively identify technical risks early in the design cycle and drive mitigation strategies across functional teams

Take an active role in setting and prioritizing BU milestones and objectives; participate in architecture and design reviews at the chip and block level

Drive continuous improvement in design methodology, flows, and quality across the ODSP hardware organization

Design & Execution

Lead end-to-end chip design execution across advanced CMOS nodes (TSMC 2nm/3nm/5nm), including architecture, RTL, physical design, DFT, timing closure, and tape-out

Own the chip bring-up plan and execution, coordinating multi-site teams across global locations; drive Phase 0, Phase 1, and Phase 2 bring-up activities through to silicon validation

Oversee silicon validation, PVT characterization, ATE test program development, qualification (ESD, LU, HTOL), and production release

Drive resolution of post-silicon issues, coordinating debug across analog, digital, firmware, and validation teams

Ensure all hardware deliverables - including PRD, design documentation, and bring-up requirements - are complete and on schedule

Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing

Mentor and develop engineers across the ODSP hardware organization; invest in building technical depth and breadth within the team

Foster a culture of knowledge sharing, technical rigor, and continuous learning

Coach and develop engineering talent; provide guidance and feedback to support career growth at all levels
