Job Responsibilities
We are seeking a highly experienced Principal Analog Design Engineer - ESD to lead the development of advanced ESD protection solutions across Marvell's IP portfolio. This role demands deep technical expertise in analog circuit design, a strong understanding of semiconductor physics, and the ability to innovate under the constraints of cutting-edge process technologies.You will:
- Architect and implement ESD protection schemes for high-speed analog and mixed-signal IP.
- Review circuit and layout designs, perform simulations, and ensure compliance with ESD standards.
- Collaborate with IP designers to mitigate ESD risks while preserving analog performance.
- Develop ESD test structures, analyze characterization results and develop esd models.
- Work on leading-edge nodes including 3nm FinFET and 2nm GAA technologies.
- Contribute to cross-functional design reviews and mentor junior engineers.
- Design and validate ESD protection circuits for analog, mixed-signal, and digital IO pads.
- Perform transistor-level simulations and layout reviews to ensure ESD robustness.
- Balance protection requirements with performance constraints in high-speed analog circuits.
- Lead ESD characterization efforts and correlate simulation results with silicon measurements.
- Interface with layout, system, and packaging teams to ensure design integrity.
- Stay current with industry trends and emerging ESD techniques.
