• Hands-on wafer sort analysis experience for analog devices 67GHz and larger
• Solid understanding of DFm for SiGe semiconductor technologies
• Ability to clearly and concisely summarize engineering findings to a management audience

Good to Have

• Familiarity with test bench equipment, including Network Analyzers, Sampling Oscilloscopes, Power Supplies and Power Meters

Perks & Benefits

• Employee stock purchase plan with a 2-year look back
• Family support programs to help balance work and home life
• Robust mental health resources to prioritize emotional well-being
• Recognition and service awards to celebrate contributions and milestones

Your Team, Your Impact

The secret to our success is our ability to provide world class linear amplification of signals transmitted from halfway across the planet or from nearby switches in a mega data center. Linear modulation enables much more data per optical symbol when compared to older technologies that provide 1 bit per optical symbol. Unlike older technologies that relied on limiting TIAs of yesteryear, today’s applications require highly-engineered linear TIAs / Drivers / Silicon Photonics that optimize the tradeoffs between power, performance and cost. Marvell solutions are optimized to enable the fastest networks on the planet.

What You Can Expect

• Lead product engineering activities, new silicon bring-up, product sampling and yield/cost improvement - from low volume into high-volume manufacturing
