Job description

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

Marvell Argentina is looking for candidates to be part of a team that designs forward error correction (FEC) and DSP schemes for optical coherent transceivers.
The FEC scheme is one of the most critical parts in transceivers, because it allows error-free communications. These blocks are implemented in hardware (ASICs) using a Hardware Description Language (HDL). So, the reliability and validation of these blocks is critical.

This job allows you to work on some of the most advanced FEC/DSP schemes in the world, together with very talented people, so we expect exceptional engineers and scientists.

As we solve complex optimization problems, proven experience or skill in this field will be well considered.

We value curious, self-motivated, eager to learn, and teamworking people. It is not mandatory to have experience in error correcting schemes: talent and drive matter far more.

What You Can Expect

• Optical communication-oriented DSP/FEC algorithms design and validation.
• Design of digital implementation architectures.
• Software development for simulation of communications systems.

What We're Looking For

Education:

  • Candidate MUST be currently pursuing an Engineering (BS), MS, or PhD degree in Electronics, Computing, or Telecommunications.

Technical Skills:

  • Knowledge of digital communication systems.

  • Good system modeling skills.

  • Good programming skills in C, C++, Python, Verilog, and SystemVerilog.

  • Good written and oral communication skills.

Additional Compensation and Benefit Elements

With competitive compensation and great benefits, you will enjoy our workstyle within an environment of shared collaboration, transparency, and inclusivity. We’re dedicated to giving our people the tools and resources they need to succeed in doing work that matters, and to grow and develop with us.

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.

Interview Integrity 

To support fair and authentic hiring practices, candidates are not permitted to use AI tools (such as transcription apps, real-time answer generators like ChatGPT or Copilot, or automated note-taking bots) during interviews.

These tools must not be used to record, assist with, or enhance responses in any way. Our interviews are designed to evaluate your individual experience, thought process, and communication skills in real time. Use of AI tools without prior instruction from the interviewer will result in disqualification from the hiring process.

This position may require access to technology and/or software subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). As such, applicants must be eligible to access export-controlled information as defined under applicable law. Marvell may be required to obtain export licensing approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce and/or the U.S. Department of State. Except for U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or protected individuals as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), all applicants may be subject to an export license review process prior to employment.
