Principal Applications Engineer – Optical Interconnects

Your Team, Your Impact

Marvell is at the center of the data infrastructure revolution, powering the backbone of cloud, AI, and high-performance computing. Our Optical DSP (ODSP) Applications Engineering team is responsible for bringing cutting-edge silicon solutions from first silicon through production deployment across next-generation optical modules and AI infrastructure platforms.

The team works at the intersection of silicon, firmware, optics, and systems engineering, driving PHY and system-level validation, performance characterization, interoperability testing, and deployment readiness for industry-leading optical DSP solutions.

You will collaborate closely with ASIC design, firmware, architecture, validation, and product engineering teams to ensure successful product qualification and deployment in some of the world's largest cloud and AI networks. This role offers extensive hands-on exposure to advanced PAM4 DSP technology, high-speed SerDes architectures, optical transceivers, and next-generation interconnect technologies.

We welcome candidates from validation, system engineering, firmware, SerDes, or optical networking backgrounds who enjoy solving complex technical challenges through hands-on engineering and lab-based development.

This is a highly technical, hands-on engineering role focused on silicon bring-up, system validation, performance optimization, and deployment readiness of Marvell's Optical DSP products. What You Can Expect
