Staff CAD Engineer (Power Signal Integrity)

Overview

Staff CAD Engineer on Marvell's Central CAD and Design Services team, focused on Power Signal Integrity (PSI) signoff methodology and flows supporting tapeout across business units.

What you'll do

• Work on block-level and full-chip static IR/EM analysis flow and methodology.
• Work on dynamic IR analysis methodology (vectorless and vector-based using VCD/FSDB) at block and full-chip levels, with and without package models.
• Tune flows for Out-of-Context (OOC) and In-Context block-level IR analysis.
• Work on Left Shifted IR Analysis such as Early Rail Analysis (ERA) to detect power grid weaknesses at the floorplan stage.
• Interface with EDA vendors to evaluate new tool features, report bugs, and drive tool improvements.
• Develop automation scripts (Tcl, Python) to streamline IR/EM flow execution, debug, and reporting.
• Support tapeout activities by ensuring IR/EM signoff closure across blocks and full-chip designs.
• Contribute to knowledge sharing, documentation, and training of IR/EM CAD flows across global teams.

What you'll need

• B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience with Cadence Voltus for IR drop and EM analysis in production ASIC/SoC flows.
• Proven track record of running block-level and full-chip PSI signoff on advanced technology nodes (7nm, 5nm, or 3nm).
• Solid understanding of static/dynamic power and IR Analysis flow and methodology (including hierarchical).
• Good understanding of DC and AC-EM analysis and its impact.
• Understanding of package-aware IR simulation and chip power model generation flows.

Nice to have

• Understanding of thermal flows.
• Understanding of multi-die IR/EM analysis.
