Sr. Staff Manager, Product Engineering

Sr. Staff Manager, Product Engineering

As a Sr. Staff Manager, Product Engineering in Marvell’s AI Connectivity Group, you will lead a team of product engineers responsible for the productization of cutting-edge datacenter connectivity solutions. You will drive new product introduction (NPI) from early silicon bring-up through mass production, while building and developing a high-performing, globally distributed team. This role requires both deep technical expertise in high-speed connectivity and strong people leadership to ensure successful execution across multiple concurrent programs.

Team Leadership & People Management

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of product engineers across multiple sites and regions, fostering a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Hire and develop a diverse, engaged, and effective team — ready to take on new work and future leadership roles.
• Manage performance, both motivating for top performance and taking action on poor performance.
• Model and hold others accountable for demonstrating Marvell’s core behaviors and setting a tone of global inclusion.
• Understand change initiatives; communicate and lead them effectively within the team.

NPI Program Execution

• Oversee multiple concurrent NPI programs for high-speed datacenter connectivity products (PAM4, Coherent DSP), including silicon bring-up, DFT validation, and test methodology development.
• Provide strategic direction, hands-on technical guidance, and mentorship to drive successful NPI development across a global team of product engineers.
• Ensure timely delivery of engineering samples to support early customer engagement and validation.
• Lead cross-functional reviews and drive resolution of technical and operational issues impacting product readiness.

Yield, Quality & Test

• Drive yield characterization, root cause analysis, and correlation across bench, wafer sort, and final test to meet cost and quality targets.
• Champion continuous improvement initiatives in test infrastructure, data analytics, and product engineering best practices.
• Apply quality management tools (GR&R, Cp, Cpk) and statistical data analysis to ensure product quality and reliability.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Operations

• Align team goals to organization goals; develop work plans to guide the team and reduce redundancies.
• Establish and adjust team priorities; allocate resources to deliver on plan and resolve disputes to remove roadblocks.
• Partner with operations and supply chain to scale production capacity, qualify alternate sources, and improve manufacturing efficiency.
• Develop mutually beneficial working relationships with internal/external customers, suppliers, and partners; develop and monitor specific plans to deliver results.
• Clearly communicate BU strategic priorities and function strategy to enable team understanding and alignment.

Business & Financial Accountability

• Deliver results against team and BU plans; measure programs, project plans, and team progress with clear accountability.
• Plan and execute innovative team deliverables, services, and solutions.
• Understand internal/external customer needs and actively communicate them to team and management to inform decision-making, applying Marvell’s Brand Pillars (Dynamic, Attentive, Real, and Tenacious).

What We're Looking For

Education

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related field.

Experience

• 10+ years of experience in the semiconductor industry, with a strong track record in product engineering, device physics, and end-to-end NPI workflow.
• 3+ years of people management experience, with demonstrated success in building and leading high-performing engineering teams.
• Deep expertise in high-speed connectivity technologies (PAM4 DSP, Coherent DSP, or equivalent), with hands-on experience in silicon bring-up, yield optimization, and test strategy.
• Experience with advanced technology nodes (10nm and below) preferred.
• Proven success in managing cross-functional teams and mentoring engineers across regions in a global matrix organization.

Technical Skills
