Your Team, Your Impact

The Marvell Advanced Packaging R&D team is responsible for package design and
technology development to meet the electrical, mechanical, thermal and system
requirements for the next generation high performance computing (HPC), Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and networking solutions. The group focuses on signal integrity,
power integrity, thermal integrity, mechanical integrity, processability,
manufacturability, and reliability, involving high speed signaling and complex power delivery networks (PDNs) requiring innovative and custom solutions to meet constantly evolving customer needs. Many of the new designs require multi-chip, multiple component configurations involving, but not limited to, 2.5D and 3D packages, Co-packaged copper or optics and advanced substrates. Marvell has partnered with the world's leading manufacturers to solve our customer’s most challenging designs and integrations with industry-leading packaging technologies.

What You Can Expect

Job Responsibilities
  • Own the packaging technology roadmap for AI XPU, XPU-attach and Switch

  • Define system-level package architecture including chiplet topology, interposer/substrate scaling, power delivery network strategy, and thermal design envelope.

  • Architect and evaluate packaging technology choices, including silicon/glass interposers, EMIB/bridge, hybrid bonding, fan-out, and 3D stacking.

  • Lead co-design efforts across silicon design, floorplanning, PDN modeling, and mechanical/thermal reliability.

  • Work with stakeholders to define and validate advanced design rule roadmap for interposer, substrates and packages.

  • Work with vendors to define and validate equipment, process and material roadmap.

  • Explore technologies beyond what is currently available, make recommendations, and create and protect IP to maximize performance.

  • Explore technology feasibility and create proof-of-concept samples.

  • Collaborate with IP, Si design, package design, production and test teams.

  • Lead package material selection, substrate stack-up definition, mechanical modeling, and reliability analysis.

  • Partner with silicon design teams to co-optimize die floorplan, bump map, TSV, and RDL requirements.

  • Support HBM integration strategy (HBM2E / HBM3 / HBM3E) with interposer or bridge-based designs.

  • Work with OSATs / Foundry partners to evaluate process capability, manufacturability, yield, and cost.

  • Perform signal and power integrity trade-off analysis in partnership with SI/PI teams.

  • Drive package qualification and reliability validation to volume readiness
