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

Marvell's Custom Silicon organization delivers differentiated platforms built on a world class portfolio of data‑infrastructure IP and flexible engagement models. The Physical Design (PD) team is at the center of this mission, enabling advanced‑node, high performance SoCs that power next‑generation AI data infrastructure.

This is a rare foundational leadership opportunity - you'll shape design strategy from the ground up and build a world-class team as part of our strategic expansion into Southern California. You're not joining an established local team - you're building one. You'll hire the engineers, define the culture, drive large scale physical design execution, and shape the technical DNA of Marvell's San Diego design organization.

What You Can Expect

• The Senior Director of Physical Design leads end-to‑end RTL‑to‑GDSII execution for complex, cutting‑edge SoCs while scaling a world‑class engineering organization. This role is accountable for predictable delivery, technical excellence, and organizational leadership across advanced process technologies. The position partners closely with global PD leadership, CAD, architecture, and cross‑functional teams to ensure consistent methodologies, robust execution, and high‑quality tapeouts.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and scale a large physical design organization, including Directors, Senior Managers, and multi‑level engineering teams.

• Own organizational design, hiring strategy, performance management, and leadership development for the local PD site.

• Provide senior‑level accountability for RTL‑to‑GDSII execution, including synthesis, floorplanning, power delivery, P&R, CTS, timing closure, SI/PI signoff, and physical verification.

• Ensure predictable, high‑quality tapeouts through disciplined schedule management, risk mitigation, and execution governance.

• Drive alignment with global PD methodologies, flows, and automation in partnership with Marvell's central PD and CAD teams.

• Collaborate with EDA vendors and foundries to deploy scalable flows and ensure readiness for advanced process nodes.

• Influence upstream design and architecture decisions to optimize physical implementation outcomes.

• Resolve cross‑functional and cross‑site issues to maintain execution momentum and organizational cohesion.

• Communicate execution status, risks, and resource needs clearly to executive leadership and global PD stakeholders.

• Mentor and develop leadership talent, fostering a high‑performance culture and strong succession pipeline.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields.

• 15+ years of experience in ASIC physical design and SoC delivery.

• Proven track record leading large, geographically distributed engineering teams.

• Demonstrated success delivering multiple high‑performance SoCs under aggressive schedules.

• Deep expertise in hierarchical physical design, advanced process nodes, and modern foundry technologies.

• Strong knowledge of full ASIC design flows and contemporary EDA toolchains.

• Executive‑level communication skills and cross‑functional leadership experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience driving methodology and flow standardization across large organizations.

• Background in automation and data‑driven design optimization.

• Familiarity with AI/ML‑assisted optimization in physical design tools.

• Experience operating at the Director/Sr. Director/AVP level within a global engineering organization.
