Director of Hardware Engineering - High-Speed Board Design & Signal Integrity

Director Of Hardware Engineering

Marvell's semiconductor solutions are the essential building blocks of the data infrastructure that connects our world. Across enterprise, cloud and AI, and carrier architectures, our innovative technology is enabling new possibilities.

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.

We are seeking a Director of Hardware Engineering to lead the design, analysis, and validation of high-speed board-level hardware for advanced SerDes-based systems. The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in high-speed PCB design, signal integrity (SI), and power integrity (PI) with strong leadership experience in guiding multidisciplinary engineering teams.

You will be responsible for defining board architectures, ensuring SI/PI compliance, managing prototype validation, and delivering high-performance hardware that meets timing, reliability, and manufacturability goals.

Leadership & Strategy

• Lead and mentor a high-performance team of hardware engineers focused on PCB design, SI/PI analysis, and board bring-up.
• Define hardware engineering roadmap and standards for high-speed SerDes board designs.
• Collaborate with executive leadership and cross-functional teams to align technical strategy with business objectives.

Technical Direction

• Oversee high-speed PCB design, including layout, stackup planning, routing, and signal/power integrity optimization.
• Lead signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) simulations, including crosstalk, return loss, insertion loss, and PDN analysis.
• Ensure robust integration with SerDes ICs, memory, connectors, and high-speed interconnects.
• Establish board-level validation, lab testing, and measurement methodologies for high-speed interfaces.
• Provide guidance on thermal management and manufacturability.

Execution Management

• Manage the full hardware lifecycle: concept, schematic, layout, prototype, testing, and production release.
• Define and enforce engineering best practices, design rules, and documentation standards.
• Coordinate with IC, firmware, and system teams to ensure end-to-end signal and power performance.
• Drive continuous improvement in design methodologies, SI/PI tool flows, and lab measurement capabilities.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 12+ years of hardware engineering experience, including 5+ years in leadership or management.
• Deep expertise in high-speed PCB layout, SerDes board-level design, and SI/PI analysis.
• Past experience and familiarity with SI/PI simulation tools (e.g., HyperLynx, Ansys SIwave, CST, Keysight ADS).
• Strong understanding of power delivery networks, signal integrity, and high-speed design constraints.
• Proven track record in leading hardware teams from concept through production for high-speed systems.

Preferred:

• Experience with multi-layer high-speed boards, differential signaling, and advanced connectors.
• Familiarity with high-performance computing, networking, or data center hardware platforms.
• Experience with lab-based high-speed measurements, such as TDR, VNA, and eye-diagram analysis.

Expected Base Pay Range (USD) 185,390 - 277,700, $ per annum. The successful candidate's starting base pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location and market conditions. The expected base pay range for this role may be modified based on market conditions.
