Director Analog Mixed Signal Design - Optical - Westlake Village, CA, United States

Originally posted 22 May 2026 by the employer. Relisted by the employer on 23 September 2026.

Lead optical transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and modulator driver IC design across SiGe BiCMOS and advanced FinFET technologies.

About the role

Marvell is seeking a Director Analog Mixed Signal Design - Optical to lead the development of high-speed broadband ICs, including Transimpedance Amplifiers (TIAs) and optical modulator drivers. The role oversees circuit design across Silicon Germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS and FinFET technologies for coherent long-haul, metro, and PAM4 data center optical systems.

What you'll do

- Provide technical leadership and design oversight for transimpedance amplifiers, modulator drivers, and laser drivers implemented in SiGe BiCMOS and FinFET nodes. - Define interface specifications and broadband analog architectures across optical front-end receivers and transmitters in collaboration with DSP, silicon photonics, and systems teams. - Manage team staffing, performance, project execution, and analog design methodologies across multiple concurrent broadband IC projects. - Guide cross-functional execution to support post-silicon validation, product qualification, transition to mass production, and customer support. - Mentor junior and senior analog engineers in transistor-level circuit design, layout oversight, and project management.

What you'll need

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with 15+ years of experience, Master's with 10–12 years, or PhD with 8–10 years of related professional experience. - Demonstrated experience managing an analog design team developing high-speed broadband circuits operating at 10GHz+. - Proven track record as a chip lead with successful silicon bring-up and taking integrated circuits to mass production. - Expertise in transistor-level analog design fundamentals, device physics, control/feedback loop stability analysis, and custom layout oversight using EDA CAD tools. - Experience delivering designs in SiGe BiCMOS and advanced FinFET process nodes.

Nice to have

- Direct project experience designing optical Transimpedance Amplifiers (TIAs) or optical modulator drivers. - Direct project experience in AGC loop design, CTLE design, or high precision analog circuits such as linear regulators, current sensors, bandgaps, and DAC/ADC. - Experience addressing package and system integration issues.
