Your Team, Your Impact

As a Hardware Design Senior Staff Engineer with Marvell, you’ll be a member of the Multi Business Engieering group. You’ll be part of the evaluation board engineering team designing boards for many different groups at Marvell.
Additionally, Marvell is designing more complex XPU and XPU attachment chips and boards than our competitors, for higher speeds than anyone else. We’re on the leading edge of this technology and you’ll love being a part of this.

What You Can Expect Thermal Architecture:

Lead the thermal definition and architectural design for next-generation high-speed networking and AI chips, ensuring optimal heat dissipation in constrained environments.

Simulation & Validation:

Perform comprehensive pre- and post-layout thermal and mechanical simulations to predict junction temperatures and structural risks.

Testing & Characterization:

Plan and execute hardware thermal characterization, using wind tunnels, thermal chambers, and IR sensors to validate simulation models against physical prototypes.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Partner with electrical (SI/PI), packaging, and PCB design teams to optimize component placement for both thermal efficiency and signal integrity.

Vendor & Process Management:

Manage the board-build and cooling-solution procurement process, working with vendors to ensure mechanical components meet Marvell’s rigorous quality and schedule requirements

What We're Looking For

• Education & Experience:

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field with at least 9 years of professional experience; Master’s degree with 6+ years, etc.

• Thermal Management:

At least 5 years of experience in thermal design for high-power semiconductors, including heat sink design, liquid cooling systems, and airflow optimization.

• Simulation Mastery:

Expert-level proficiency in **CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)**and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) tools such as Ansys Icepak, FloTHERM, or Simcenter.

• Materials Science:

Deep understanding of Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs), heat spreaders, and advanced packaging materials.

• Hardware Integration:

Experience working with high-density system architectures, including rack-level cooling (air and liquid) for data center or networking environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proficiency in 3D CAD software (Solid Works).

• Knowledge of structural mechanics, shock/vibration testing, and reliability standards for networking hardware.

• Familiarity with manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, die-casting, and injection molding.
