Job Summary

About Marvell

Marvells 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

Marvells optics franchise is one of the fastest-moving and most capacity-constrained part of our portfolio. This leader makes sure a hyperscaler demand signal that swings materially in a planning horizon still lands as a supply plan we can commit revenue against.
Why it matters: Optics demand is set by a handful of cloud and AI infrastructure customers placing multi-year bets. The upside is real; so is the whipsaw. This role is the hinge.

What You Can Expect

What Youll Own

  • Demand-to-commit. Supply planning for the full optics portfolio optical DSPs coherent linear drivers/TIAs silicon photonics. You own the number that goes to E-Staff.
  • Capacity corridors. Translate the 5-year URCF into foundry OSAT test substrate and optical components asks. Advanced-node wafer commits advanced packaging slots ABF substrate sort/final-test capacity and component capacity.
  • Allocation governance. When constrained supply has three good homes you run the trade-off and the decision is defensible to the BU GM Finance and Sales.
  • NPI-to-volume handoff. Interlock with NPI Planning so ramps land on time with committed capacity behind them not hope.
  • Escalation command. Single point of accountability for optics supply escalations customer-facing and up to the CSCO and COO.
  • The team. Lead and grow a global planning organization across US and Asia sites. Build a bench not a dependency.

In Scope and Out of Scope

In: Architecture of the optics supply plan. Cross-node and cross-customer allocation. Exec-level revenue commit. Long-range capacity strategy with our supply base.

Out: PO execution supplier pricing and contract negotiation OSAT shop-floor scheduling and site-level MRP transactions. Those sit with Procurement Global Operations and the site teams by design. You are a peer to those leaders not their escalation path.


Who Youll Work With

Principal strategic peer to the Optics BU GM and product line leaders Foundry & OSAT Procurement NPI Planning Central Planning Finance and Sales Operations. Regular exposure to the CSCO and COO. You will spend real time with our foundry OSAT substrate and optical component partners.


What Success Looks Like at 12 Months

  • Supply plan accuracy at quarter close.
  • Zero unplanned decommits above traced to planning process gaps.
  • A signed-off 5-year optics capacity corridor with our top three supply partners.
  • Minimal quarter-exit delinquency on the optics portfolio.
  • Two internal successors identified and developing.

What Were Looking For

Must have


  • 15 years in semiconductor supply chain; 5 leading global teams at director level or above.
  • Deep fluency in the fabless operating model foundry OSAT test substrate and components not just in-house fab and factory.
  • Optics or high-speed connectivity domain credibility. You can hold a technical conversation about an NPO/CPO ramp or a package transition.
  • You have personally carried a revenue commit number into an executive staff meeting and defended it.
  • S&OP/IBP discipline allocation frameworks and capacity modeling.

Nice to have


  • Advanced packaging depth (FOCoS FCBGA 2.5D/chip-on-wafer).
  • Optical module or transceiver ecosystem experience.
  • Kinaxis SAP IBP Power BI/DAX.

Bottom Line

We dont need a coordinator. We need a leader who turns volatile AI-driven optics demand into a supply plan the company can bank on and who owns the number when its hard.
