Your Team, Your Impact
Marvell’s semiconductor solutions are the essential building blocks of the data infrastructure that connects our world. Across enterprise, cloud and AI, automotive, and carrier architectures, our innovative technology is enabling new possibilities. At Marvell, you can affect the arc of individual lives, lift the trajectory of entire industries, and fuel the transformative potential of tomorrow. For those looking to make their mark on purposeful and enduring innovation, above and beyond fleeting trends, Marvell is a place to thrive, learn, and lead.
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 DSP Architect, 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
•
Architect and simulate advanced DSP systems; define key features, performance targets, and detailed specifications to guide both analog and digital design teams.
•
Conduct research in digital signal processing techniques for high‑speed SerDes and optical communication channels.
•
Prototype innovative algorithms for equalization, adaptation, and forward error correction (FEC), evaluating their feasibility and performance.
•
Develop and validate new DSP algorithms in C++, MATLAB, or Python within a simulation environment.
•
Build bit‑true models of DSP architectures and collaborate closely with design and verification teams to ensure accurate hardware implementation.
•
Develop/perform behavioral modeling of mixed-signal circuit designs for transceivers.
•
Participate in chip bring‑up activities and work hands‑on in a fast‑paced lab environment to debug and validate system behavior.
