About The Position

Marvell’s semiconductor solutions are the essential building blocks of the data infrastructure that connects our world. Across enterprise, cloud and AI, 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. The Data Center Engineering (DCE) group in Westlake Village is responsible for post‑silicon design validation of broadband analog amplifiers, analog validation of DSP products, high‑speed device modeling, integrated optics and Silicon Photonics design validation. The qualified candidate will work with a team of energetic, technically strong, multi‑disciplined engineers to develop and validate broadband analog amplifiers, integrated optics and Silicon Photonics components, high‑speed optical communication systems, and related subsystems that enable next‑generation communication infrastructure. The successful candidate will be part of the Sub system Development team, contributing to system board‑level hardware design, software scripting and automation, and test and validation of Marvell’s communication integrated circuits (ICs), Silicon Photonics devices, and subsystem solutions. The role provides opportunities to broaden technical depth, expand system‑level responsibility, and grow across a wide range of engineering disciplines over time.
