Your Team, Your Impact

Marvell Optics R&D Validation team focuses on the validation of high speed silicon photonics optical platforms, including photonic integrated circuits (PICs), high speed electrical interfaces (such as TIAs and drivers), and advanced integrated and co packaged optics solutions.
The role supports validation of high data rate optical interconnects, covering PAM4 based links at up to ~224 Gb/s line rate (or ~212 Gb/s net). Responsibilities include ensuring measured performance meets design, signal integrity, and system level requirements for both short and long reach optical communication.

What You Can Expect

• Set up, bring up, and maintain automated test platforms for calibration and characterization of optical transceivers, electro‑optic components, or high‑speed electronic subsystems.
• Develop and enhance test automation software, including:
• Calibration routines
• Characterization and verification test flows
• Test data validation and basic analysis
• Debug and resolve issues spanning test software, instrumentation, hardware, and DUT behavior.
• Support products across the lifecycle, from early R&D validation through engineering qualification and high‑volume production.
• Collaborate closely with design, validation, and manufacturing teams to improve test robustness, coverage, and efficiency.

What We're Looking For Education & Experience

• Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Optical Communications, or a related field, with 2–5 years of experience in optical component or high‑speed link testing;or
