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

The Optics team builds highly integrated component platforms with high speed Silicon photonics, transmit and receive amplifiers, controller ASIC’s with Marvell DSP’s. These components are made operational with a highly functional embedded firmware. The team is responsible for design, verification, and validation of these integrated high speed optical components. The team performs system level testing under various operating conditions, and validates the performance of the hardware, firmware and control loops. An engineer in this team will be involved in a full product lifecycle and will carry new products from inception all the way to NPI.

What You Can Expect

The Silicon Photonics Engineer will be a key contributor to development of state-of-the-art silicon photonics light engine at Marvell.

• In this role you will be part of a development team that is responsible for all aspects of engineering design, process development, and productization for Marvell’s next-generation optics products.
• Implement creative design solutions to accelerate design and tape-out of photonics products.
• Collaborate closely with CAD and foundry process teams working on the development and support of next generation photonics design flow and design automation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams consisting of Digital and Analog Circuit designers, Signal/Power Integrity, and substrate layout, and system design team.

What We're Looking For

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Photonics or related discipline and 1+ years experience, or equivalently those with an M.S/M. Eng. with 3+ years industrial experience in photonic integrated circuit design and validation will also be considered.
• A strong understanding of optical component design, fabrication and validation.
• Solid background in semiconductor optical devices such as compact modulators, detectors and other integrated waveguide devices.
