Your Team, Your Impact

Optics

The Optics team builds highly integrated component platforms with high speed Silicon photonics, transmit and receive amplifiers, controller ASIC's with Marvell DSP's. These components are made operational with a highly functional embedded firmware. The team is responsible for design, verification, and validation of these integrated high speed optical components. The team performs system level testing under various operating conditions, and validates the performance of the hardware, firmware and control loops. An engineer in this team will be involved in a full product lifecycle and will carry new products from inception all the way to NPI.

What You Can Expect

What you will do

In this role you will design mechanical, thermal, and packaging integration for new high speed fiber optic design prototypes and sustaining products. This role requires expertise in 3D modeling, thermal design, substrate design, and die packaging processes.
As a Staff Mechanical Design Engineer, you will design and collaborate with cross-functional teams within Marvell to create industry-leading optical solutions.
Design mechanical, thermal, and packaging integration for fiber optic transceiver design assembly prototypes and sustaining products.
Create detailed mechanical designs, 3D models, and 2D drawings using Solidworks, Pro-E, and/or Autocad.
Develop and model thermal design solutions for component and assembly level cooling of thermally sensitive optoelectronic device.
Coordinate multiple design paths during development phases, collaborating with mechanical, electrical, and optical teams.
Coordinate substrate design, collaborating with engineering teams and vendors for design layout, simulations, and prototypes.
Support die packaging processes such as Flip Chip attach and Ball Grid Array attach.
Design tooling fixtures, fan shrouds, cooling shrouds, and heat sink fixtures for prototype design verification testing (DVT).
Coordinate with Contract Manufacturers for optoelectronic assembly processes, drafting build request documents, and validating process steps.
Conduct thorough engineering analysis, simulations, and tests to validate and optimize designs for performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
Conduct mechanical design reviews, DFM, and DFA. Collaborate with reliability teams on product improvement and DFMEA.
