DSP Systems Architect

Your Team, Your Impact

Here’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of a team that’s the industry leader in wireline Ethernet communication technologies. Marvell’s product portfolio addresses applications from Hyperscale data center interconnects to industrial PHYs, reaching speeds of 1.6Tb/s, and covering diverse media types spanning Optical fibers and High speed coaxial cables to shielded and unshielded twisted pair cables. The underlying core technologies that enable these products are state of the art of equalization techniques like Maximum likelihood sequence estimation, timing synchronization, cross talk and echo cancellation techniques, error control coding techniques such as LDPC, product and concatenated codes, combined with architectural and circuit innovations to enable low power high speed implementation of these complex algorithms.

Come join Marvell to work on the DSP and architecture challenges that need to be solved to enable products and technologies that will determine the future direction for the entire industry.
