Your Team, Your Impact

Marvell's Broadband Analog group designs physical layer ICs for high-speed optical fiber data communication, such as Transimpedance Amplifiers (TIAs), and Drivers for Silicon Photonic (SiPho), Electro-absorption Modulators (EAMs), and Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Modulators (MZMs). This group is the market leader in delivering TIAs and Drivers for Data Center and Telecom markets. We address the bandwidth, capacity and power issues faced by cloud computing and mega data center networks. 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.

What You Can Expect

Marvell is seeking a Director of RF and Analog Design to contribute to the development of 100s Gbps Transimpedance Amplifiers (TIAs) and Optical Modulator Drivers. 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. These optical interface chips are tightly coupled with our silicon photonics chips and high-performance equalizers.

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.
