Your Team, Your ImpactGroup Description
Data center engineering (DCE) team in Westlake Village involves in the development of discrete components and integrated optics providing to the 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.
What You Can ExpectJob Responsibilities
This 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.
Detail 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
