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

At Marvell, we're architecting the future of accelerated infrastructure. The Data Center Interconnect (DCI) organization sits at the center of one of the most transformative technology shifts in decades: the rapid scaling of AI factories, hyperscale cloud infrastructure, and next-generation data centers. As AI workloads expand across clusters, campuses, and continents, the need for high-performance, power-efficient optical connectivity has never been greater.

Our Cloud Optics team develops industry-leading silicon photonics and coherent optical technologies that enable the world's largest cloud providers and AI innovators to build scalable, resilient, and efficient networks. The team pioneered Marvell's market-leading portfolio of coherent pluggable optics and continues to define the future of DCI through breakthrough innovations in coherent DSPs, silicon photonics, and optical networking architectures.
This is a rare opportunity to join a market leader and help shape the technologies powering the next generation of AI infrastructure—from scale-up clusters within AI systems to scale-out fabrics connecting massive AI training environments, and global DCI networks interconnecting hyperscale data centers.
