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

The Optics team builds highly integrated component platforms with high-speed Silicon photonics, transmit and receive amplifiers, and controller ASICs with Marvell DSPs. These components are made operational with highly functional embedded firmware. The team is responsible for designing, verifying, and validating 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 carry new products from inception to NPI.

What You Can Expect

In this role you will lead 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 Senior Staff Mechanical Design Engineer, you will lead design projects, and collaborate with cross-functional teams within Marvell to create industry-leading optical solutions.

• Lead 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.
• Lead and conduct mechanical design reviews, DFM, and DFA. Collaborate with reliability teams on product improvement and DFMEA.
• Positive, can-do attitude with ability to rapidly prototype and iterate when necessary.
• Collaborate with operations to support existing products.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and 5+years of related professional experience.
• Master’s degree in mechanical engineering and 3+ years of experience preferred
• A minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, preferably in optical transceiver design.
• Proficiency in 3D modeling tools: Solidworks, EPDM, Circuitworks, Visualization.
• Expertise in thermal analysis tools: FloTHERM, Solidworks Simulation, ANSYS.
• Experience with layout tools: Klayout (DXF, GDS), Allegro PCB viewer.
• Strong understanding of substrate and PCB design specifications.
• Experience with die packaging processes.
• Excellent coordination and collaboration skills with engineering teams and vendors.
• Strong analytical skills, capable of conducting engineering analysis and simulations to validate design concepts.
• Familiarity with optical fiber and fiber coupling
• Excellent problem-solving abilities and a track record of delivering innovative and practical solutions.
• Adept at managing multiple tasks and priorities while maintaining a high level of attention to detail.
• Strong knowledge of industry standards, regulations, and best practices related to optoelectronic design and reliability.
