Your Team, Your Impact

Marvell Optics group is looking for an electrical engineering intern in the greater Los Angeles, CA office. The qualified candidate will work with a team of energetic, technically strong, multi-disciplined engineering team in the development of critical components for 800G, 1.6T ZR high speed optical communication systems that will enable the next generation cloud computing that powers the today’s AI landscape.

The successful candidate will be part of the Optics team responsible for validation of Analog front end design used in various physical medium devices, Photonics Integrated circuits, board-level hardware design, test development in microwave test and measurement at mmWave and beyond, and scripting of automatic test systems for testing hardware with specific firmware.

The candidate will be offered the opportunity to grow and be exposed to a broad range of engineering skills & responsibilities over time.

What You Can Expect

A student intern may be assigned any related to designing a test interface, probe solution, test automation, PIC test development, testing of CDSP SerDes, SiGe BiCMOS transimpedance amplifiers and laser drivers. This may include system modeling, block design, simulation, or lab measurement. Assignments will depend on the skills and interests of the student intern as well as the project phase.

Detail responsibilities can be:

• Develop Hardware for Chip level and/or sub-system level performance evaluation/validation. 
• Initial work will involve in execution of engineering validation plan for Optoelectronic components (TIAs & modulator Drivers)
  • Learn to understand the Spec and functionalities of Marvell Optoelectronics products
  • Designing hardware platform for validating chips and system with Senior member’s guidance
  • Coding/scripting to automate measurements in Python
  • Verify and Trouble shoot board level or chip level design.
  • Engage and collaborate among validation team members for test development, data base structure, test hardware (Probes wedges, probes cards, and PCB,) and performing assigned validation projects.
  • Documentation of design/validation results and report generations

Being successful during internship could potentially earn as a Post Silicon Validation Engineer role and overtime, design and innovate hardware/software and test/validation methodologies.

• Solving low noise- high gain amplifier testing up to mmWave.

What We’re Looking For

• Candidate MUST be currently pursuing a MS degree in CE/EE or related technical field(s) at ABET accredited University.
• Strong fundamentals in at least 2 to 3 of the following area:
  • RF and Microwave Engineering (S-parameters.) & Devices (Filters, Splitters/ Combiners, Travelling wave amplifiers)
  • Transistor-level Analog design
  • Common building blocks & functions: OpAmps, Digital logic
  • Communication Theories – modulations, noise, SNR, digital signal processing, equalization techniques, Q-factor, BER
  • Digital System engineering – signaling and synchronization.
  • Programming: Python, C, etc. (Exposures to Matlab and ADS is desirable)
  • Silicon Photonics
• Team player with good communication skills.
• Enjoys hands on lab work using test and measurement equipment (VNA, Oscilloscope, Spectrum analyzer, and in circuit emulator.)

Expected Base Pay Range (USD)

26 - 52, $ per hour.

The successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location and market conditions. The expected base pay range for this role may be modified based on market conditions.

Additional Compensation and Benefit Elements

For Internship roles, we are proud to offer the following benefits package during the internship - medical, dental and vision coverage or opt-out credit, perks and discount programs, virtual fitness subsidy, wellness & mental health support including coaching and therapy, paid holidays, paid volunteer days and paid sick time. Additional compensation maybe available for intern PhD candidates.This role is eligible for our hybrid work model in which you will be able to split time between working from home and on-site in a Marvell office.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or protected veteran status.
