What You Can Expect
Marvell is seeking an RF and Analog Design Engineer to contribute to the development of multi-tens of GHz transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs). These optical interface chips are tightly coupled with our high-performance equalizers. The results of our innovative designs have made our TIAs best in class for coherent long-haul and metro systems as well as PAM4 data center systems. In this role you will be responsible for:
- Active-circuit design.
- Design of leading edge transimpedance amplifiers, using both SiGe BiCMOS and the most advanced CMOS FinFET technologies, where circuit performance will need to transcend beyond industry leading products.
- Development of transmission line structures and other millimeter wave structures to enable higher performance than would normally be achievable.
- Design of high-performance broadband analog circuits for optical front-end receivers.
- Design of various other analog circuits including linear regulators, AGC loops, current/voltage sensors, bandgaps etc.
- Work with other functional groups to facilitate post-silicon validation, qualification, transition to mass production, and customer support.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering with 3-5 years of industry experience OR Master’s or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering with 1+ years of industry experience in the area of designing high-performance RF/Analog Receiver/TIA.
- Proven experience in high-performance receiver design including both chip tape-out AND lab evaluation.
- Solid experience in.
- Using EDA CAD tools
- Performing Analog Custom Layout
- Experience in measuring IC performance and debug of design to correlate simulations to measurements.
- Deep understanding of fundamentals, including:
- Detailed transistor level design.
- Device physics.
- Control/Feedback loop stability analysis.
- Direct project experience in at least one of the following areas is a plus:
- Automatic gain-control loops.
- High precision analog circuits including linear regulators, current sensors, bandgaps and DAC/ADC.
- Continuous-time linear equalizers.
- Experience in Package-System integration issues is desired.
- Project experience in using different technologies. (SiGe BiCMOS and FinFET CMOS are pluses)
- A team-player.
- Experience in the following is a plus:
- Overseeing and mentoring junior circuit designers.
- Experience as chip lead with success in silicon.
- Experience in taking chips to mass production.
- Ability to translate chip level specifications into architecture.
- Strong communication, presentation and documentation skills.
