Silicon Photonics Intern

About the role

Marvell is recruiting a Silicon Photonics Intern in its Optical Interconnect team. The intern contributes to silicon photonics devices and integrated circuits that power next-generation high-speed optical links for AI and cloud data centers.

Key responsibilities

• Work with the optical component / photonic integrated circuit design flow used in industry.
• Work with the design constraints and trade-offs that must be considered in industry.
• Design, simulate and model silicon photonic devices (modulators, photodetectors, waveguides, couplers, filters) and high-speed optical interfaces, taking industry requirements into account.
• Support characterization and validation of silicon photonic devices and correlate measurements with simulation and models.
• Analyze and present data and ideas to the team and to a diverse audience.
• Collaborate with design, packaging, test and product teams.

Required profile

• Student in a Ph.D. degree program in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, Physics, Optical Engineering or a related field.
• Solid understanding of semiconductor optical devices (modulators, detectors, lasers, waveguide devices) with familiarity or direct experience of optical simulation software and/or optical device modeling.
• Solid understanding of semiconductor packaging/integration technology such as signal/power integrity, heterogeneous integration, mechanical and assembly processes.
• Ability to present data and ideas to a diverse audience.

Preferred

• Python/MATLAB for data analysis and automation.
• Hands-on experience with optical lab measurements.

The position may require access to technology and software subject to U.S. export control laws, so applicants must be eligible to access export-controlled information. Candidates are not permitted to use AI tools during interviews.
