Your Team, Your Impact

Central Engineering AMS-IP team provides leading-edge high speed PHY solutions and other Analog Mixed-Signal IPs to support all Marvell products.

What You Can Expect

Senior Principal Analog Lead to drive the design and delivery of next-generation HBM PHY analog and mixed-signal solutions for AI, HPC, and hyperscale systems.

This is a high-impact technical leadership role with ownership of PHY circuit architecture, analog/mixed-signal design, and silicon bring-up, working across digital, system, and packaging domains. You will play a critical role in shaping high-speed interface design at advanced process nodes, pushing the limits of bandwidth, power efficiency, and signal integrity.

What You Will Do

• Own the analog/mixed-signal architecture of HBM PHY, including:
• TX/RX design, clocking, DLL/PLL, reference circuits
• Training assist circuits, calibration engines, and margining support
• Lead design of critical high-speed blocks:
• IO drivers, receivers, equalization, clock distribution, and timing circuits
• Define and drive:
• Signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and jitter/noise budgets
• Partner closely with logic/RTL architects to co-design:
• Training flows, calibration algorithms, and system behavior
• Drive HBM4 implementation to silicon, while influencing next-generation PHY architectures
• Collaborate across:
• Physical design, packaging, SI/PI, and system architecture teams
• Ensure robust design across:
• Process, voltage, temperature (PVT) corners and variation
• Lead design reviews, modeling, and simulation methodologies (including AMS/system-level modeling)
• Drive post-silicon bring-up, characterization, and debug for high-speed interfaces
• Engage with memory vendors and ecosystem to ensure interface compliance and interoperability
  

What Were Looking For

• Bachelor’s/Masters/PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields and 15+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design, with strong focus on high-speed interfaces
• Proven track record of delivering silicon-proven PHYs or SerDes at advanced nodes
• Deep expertise in:
• High-speed IO design (multi-Gbps range):
• TX/RX circuits, equalization, clocking, jitter optimization
• Mixed-signal design:
• DLLs, PLLs, CDR (preferred), voltage references
• Strong understanding of:
• Signal integrity, power integrity, jitter, noise, and channel effects
• Package and interconnect impacts (2.5D/3D integration, interposers)
• Experience with:
• System-level modeling and co-simulation (AMS / behavioral modeling)
• Proven ability to:
• Drive architecture and design across cross-functional teams
• Debug complex silicon issues and drive root-cause resolution
  

Preferred

• Experience with:
• HBM PHY or memory interfaces (HBM3/HBM4)
• Background in:
• SerDes, DDR, LPDDR, or GDDR PHY design
• Exposure to:
• Advanced packaging (2.5D/3D, chiplets, interposers)
• Familiarity with:
• Equalization techniques, training/DFE concepts, high-speed link design
• Prior experience working with:
• Memory vendors and system teams
  

Why This Role

• Drive cutting-edge analog design for next-generation memory interfaces
• Play a key role in HBM PHY delivery and future roadmap definition
• Work on industry-leading AI/HPC silicon platforms
• High visibility role with deep technical ownership and influence
