The Senior Photonics Design Engineer will be a key contributor to the development of state-of-the-art silicon photonics light engines at Marvell.

  • In this role, you will be part of a development team responsible for all aspects of engineering design, process development, and productization for Marvell’s next-generation optics products.
  • Implement creative design solutions to accelerate design and tape-out of photonics products.
  • Collaborate closely with CAD and foundry process teams working on the development and support of next-generation photonics design flow and design automation.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams consisting of digital and analog circuit designers, signal/power integrity, and substrate layout, and system design teams.
What We’re Looking For
  • PhD in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, or a related discipline and 1+ years of experience, or equivalently those with an M.S./M.Eng. with 3+ years of industrial experience in photonic integrated circuit design and validation.
  • A strong understanding of optical component design, fabrication, and validation.
  • Solid background in semiconductor optical devices such as compact modulators, detectors, and other integrated waveguide devices.
  • Use of optical and electrical modeling and simulation software to design electro-optical devices and generate GDS-level mask data for device fabrication.
  • Solid track record with industry-standard EDA software, flows, and architecture, and a solid understanding of optical simulation tools and related methodologies.
  • Familiarity or direct experience in standard Si/CMOS/MEMS process technologies required for fabrication and integration of electrical and optical devices.
  • Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, cross-functional team environment.
  • Self-starter. Motivated to get things done.
  • Willingness and ability to be hands-on and work in the lab.
