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. Your Team, Your Impact Marvell DCE 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. Detailed 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.
