Requirements

  • Specialized Technical Skills
  • Deep, hands-on experience with commercial wafer-scale probe stations (e.g., Cascade/FormFactor, MPI, or equivalent) - this is a core requirement. Candidates must have direct, personal experience operating, configuring, and maintaining SiPh wafer-level probe systems.
  • Hands-on experience automating test setups using Python (preferred), MATLAB, LabVIEW, or C#, and strong proficiency with data analysis tools such as JMP or DataConductor.
  • Strong experience in system level test plan definition and execution, preferably for transceiver products involving systems with DSP/TIA/Driver with PICs, and high-speed (56 Gbps+/lane) measurement such as BER testing, eye-diagram analysis, and S-parameter characterization.
  • Knowledge of integrated photonics and ray-tracing optics and design is a plus.
  • Leadership & Management
  • Demonstrated experience managing and growing technical engineering teams in a semiconductor or photonics environment, with the ability to balance hands-on execution with strategic leadership.
  • Expected Base Pay Range (USD)
  • 195,180 - 292,400, $ per annum
  • The successful candidate's starting base pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location and market conditions. The expected base pay range for this role may be modified based on market conditions.
  • Additional Compensation and Benefit Elements
  • All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or protected veteran status.
  • Any applicant who requires a reasonable accommodation during the selection process should contact Marvell HR

About Marvell Marvell's semiconductor solutions are the essential building blocks of the data infrastructure that connects our world. Across enterprise, cloud and AI, and carrier architectures, our innovative technology is enabling new possibilities. At Marvell, you can affect the arc of individual lives, lift the trajectory of entire industries, and fuel the transformative potential of tomorrow. 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 As Generative AI continues to advance, the performance drivers for data center infrastructure are shifting from systems-on-chip (SOCs) to systems of chips. In the era of Accelerated Computing, data center bottlenecks are no longer limited to compute performance, but rather the system's interconnect bandwidth, memory bandwidth, and memory capacity. Photonic Fabric™ is the next-generation interconnect technology that delivers a tenfold increase in performance and energy efficiency compared to competing solutions What You Can Expect This is a hands-on technical leadership role . The ideal candidate leads from the bench - personally contributing to test development, debug, and execution, while also guiding a team of Optical Test Engineers and Photonics Systems Test Engineers. Hands-On Technical Execution Develop and debug wafer-scale and die-level high-speed (56 Gbps+/lane) optical and electrical measurement setups, including BER testing, eye-diagram analysis, and S-parameter measurements. Author and review automation scripts for instrument control and data processing. Wafer-Level Probe Operations and NPI Own the end-to-end operation, maintenance, and roadmap of wafer-scale probe stations, including vendor liaison, continuous improvement, and calibration protocols. Lead data infrastructure setup to handle, archive, and analyze large-volume prober outputs. Support NPI by driving correlation between wafer-level test, sub-system characterization, and system-level validation. System Photonics Validation and Characterization Plan and execute Photonics DVT testing on Marvell's Photonic Fabric scale-up networking products Lead the design and implementation of product test platforms that support NPI, bring-up and reliability assessment. Team Management & Development Recruit, mentor, and manage a team of Optical Test and Photonics Systems Test Engineers. Build cross-functional relationships with ASIC design, AMS design, and packaging teams to improve device performance and test coverage.
