Principal Analog Mixed-Signal Design Engineer - RF/SiPho/TIA/CMOS/SiGe

About Marvell

Marvell’s semiconductor solutions are the essential building blocks of the data infrastructure that connects our world. Across enterprise, cloud and AI, automotive, 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. 

Your Team, Your Impact

Our world class group leverages our core competencies in advanced circuit design to solve the world’s ever-increasing desire to transmit more data for less power with fewer errors. We are continually first to market in Data Center, Metro and Long-Haul applications.
As a member of the design group, the candidate will be responsible for design and validation of FET and BiCMOS circuits for high-speed broadband ICs that serve these applications.

What You Can Expect

Marvell is seeking an RF and Analog Design Engineer to contribute to the development of multi-tens of GHz Transimpedance Amplifiers TIAs. These optical interface chips are tightly coupled with our high-performance equalizers. The results of our innovative designs have made our TIAs best in class for coherent long-haul and metro systems as well as PAM4 data center systems. 

In this role you will be responsible for:

• Active circuit design as well as technical leadership.

• Leading edge optical modulator driver and transimpedance amplifier design, primarily in Silicon Germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS (Bipolar Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology, where circuit performance will need to transcend beyond industry leading products.

• Developing transmission line structures and other millimeter wave structures to enable higher performance than would normally be achievable.

• Design of hi-performance broadband analog circuits for optical front-end receivers and transmitters, including modulator and laser drivers.

• Design of various other analog circuits including linear regulators, AGC loop, current/voltage sensors, bandgaps etc.

• Developing microarchitecture of major circuit blocks and guiding a team of designers to implement them.

• Working with various technologies including SiGe BiCMOS and CMOS.

• Working with other functional groups to facilitate post-silicon validation, qualification, transition to mass production, and customer support.

What We're Looking For

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering with 15+ years of related professional experience.
Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering with 10-12 years of related professional experience.
PhD in Electrical Engineering with 8-10 years of related professional experience.

• Proven experience in IC design including chip tape-out AND lab evaluation of receiver design working in the industry.

• Solid experience in.

  • Using EDA CAD tools

  • Performing Analog Custom Layout

  • Experience in measuring IC performance and debug of design to correlate simulations to measurements

• Deep understanding of fundamentals, including:

  • Detailed transistor level design

  • Device physics

  • Control/Feedback loop stability analysis

  • Direct project experience in at least one of the following areas is a plus:

  • AGC loop design

  • High precision analog circuits (Including linear regulators, current sensors, bandgaps and DAC/ADC)

  • RF/High-Speed (10GHz+) issues

  • Experience in CTLE design

• Experience in Package-System integration issues desired

• Project experience in using different technologies. (SiGe BiCMOS is a plus)

• A team-player

• Experience in the following is needed:

  • Proven leadership and experience in working with multidisciplinary teams & projects

  • Experience as chip lead with success in silicon

  • Experience in taking chips to mass production

  • Ability to translate chip level specifications into architecture

• Experience in the following is a strong plus:

  • Overseeing and mentoring junior circuit designers

  • Willingness to share knowledge with other team members.

• Strong communication, presentation and documentation skills.
