Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Intern - PhD

Your Team, Your Impact

Join Marvell’s Data Center Engineering (DCE) Connectivity DSP Team, where we design and develop high-speed, low-power electrical and optical transceivers using PAM4 and advanced modulation schemes with FEC (Forward-Error-Correction). Our DSP solutions power AI, cloud, enterprise, and 5G infrastructure by enabling the high bandwidth interconnects essential for modern data centers. As an intern, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the system design and development of next-generation DSP architectures, while gaining hands-on experience in a leading technology group.

What You Can Expect

Responsibilities:

• Gain in-depth understanding of transceiver systems, including equalization and clock-data-recovery (CDR) algorithms.
• Develop and refine algorithms or models for performance characterization.
• Prototype innovative ideas related to equalization, adaptation, and forward error correction (FEC).
• Implement and test new algorithms using C++, MATLAB, or Python in a simulator environment.

What We're Looking For

Minimum Requirements:

• Currently pursuing a Master’s or PhD degree (PhD strongly preferred) in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Completed graduate coursework in at least two of the following areas:
• Digital Signal Processing
• Digital Communications
• Information Theory
• Coding Theory
• Probability Theory

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong R&D experience in Probability Theory, Detection and Estimation Theory, Coding Theory, Digital Communications, or Digital Signal Processing.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills.
• Proficiency in C++, MATLAB, or Python.
• Experience with adaptive filters, equalization, forward error correction, and clock-data-recovery is a plus.

If you are passionate about high-speed DSP design and want to contribute to cutting-edge solutions, we encourage you to apply and help drive the future of AI and cloud infrastructures.
