Optical Transceiver Validation Engineer Intern (Master's)

About the role

Marvell Optics is looking for an electrical engineering intern in its Singapore office. The intern joins a team developing very high-speed optical transceiver modules for data-center interconnects, cloud computing and AI hardware, and works on the validation and characterization of optical transceiver products and sub-components such as photonic ICs.

Key responsibilities

• Work on projects related to the bring-up, calibration and characterization of electro-optic transceivers for fiber optic communications.
• Assist in setting up automated test stations for high-speed photonic devices.
• Develop and implement calibration algorithms for integrated photonic communication ICs in multi-channel transceiver modules operating at high data rates.
• Collect and analyze data to evaluate device performance, estimate manufacturing yield and optimize production test coverage and test time.
• Perform performance testing of very high-speed serial communication links and sub-component optimization.

Required profile

• Master's degree in Communications Engineering, Electrical and Optical Engineering or a related technical field.
• Strong fundamentals in at least two to three of the listed areas.
• Team player with good communication skills.
• Enjoys hands-on lab work with test and measurement equipment.

Required skills

• Knowledge of optical components (lasers, optical amplifiers, TOSA/ROSA) and communication equipment testing.
• Communication theory: modulation, noise, SNR, digital signal processing, equalization, Q-factor, BER.
• Very high-speed serial link design and testing.
• Programming in Python, C, etc.; exposure to MATLAB and ADS is desirable.
• Silicon photonics and analog/mixed-signal circuit design (op-amps, power supplies, ADC/DAC, PLL).
