Behind the passion for the work from this analog design engineer
By Amrutha Iyer, Marvell Analog Design Engineer
Welcome to the third of our four-part series on the "What Makes Marvell" blog, where we highlight the incredible analog engineers making an impact at Marvell. Today, we feature Amrutha Iyer, an analog design engineer in Santa Clara, Calif., who recently transitioned into a leadership role.
How did I end up here?I’ve been at Marvell for about four years now, joining through the Inphi acquisition in 2020. But before that, I spent time at Broadcom, Nvidia, and Samsung. I’ve always been an analog design engineer, and it’s been a passion of mine from the start. A big part of why I stuck with it is because of my experience at UCLA, where I did my master’s. The professors there were some of the best in the field and had a way of motivating you to fall in love with analog engineering. With all the industry publications they contributed to, it was impossible not to be inspired.
What keeps me excited?
It’s the challenges! The field is constantly evolving, and it feels like there's always something new on the horizon, from the early days of IoT to today with AI. Tackling new designs always starts at the analog level – where the magic happens and where we push the boundaries of silicon.
Why analog?
For me, analog design is about building from the ground up. There's no abstraction here and no assumptions. The visibility into how things function, and the problem-solving process is immensely satisfying. You learn to build things with a deep, fundamental understanding, and there’s something very rewarding about that.

Meet Kevin Caffey: The new SVP of Quality at Marvell
By Mary Gorges, Content Manager, Talent Branding, Marvell
When Kevin Caffey joined Marvell as Senior Vice President of Quality four months ago, he brought not only his extensive experience but also a unique career perspective. Now based in San Diego after his tenure at Qualcomm, Kevin is setting down roots at Marvell. His role frequently takes him up and down the California coast and across the globe. With 40% of his organization located in Asia, he recently returned from visits to Taiwan and Singapore to meet with key suppliers and engage with his team.
“I didn’t think I’d ever leave Qualcomm,” Kevin shares, reflecting on his decision to join Marvell. “But the opportunity here was too compelling to pass up. I’ve always been driven by a passion for quality, and Marvell is perfectly positioned to lead the next wave of technological innovation–especially with AI.”

Working with passion is the best way to succeed
By Mary Gorges, Content Manager, Talent Branding, Marvell
Welcome to the first of our four-part series on the "What Makes Marvell" blog, where we’ll highlight some of the incredible analog engineers making an impact at Marvell.
Think like an owner.” That’s the philosophy I find in the analog design teams at Marvell, and it’s something I take to heart every day. We really try to empower designers to take ownership of things.
I’m Tomas Dusatko and I’ve been part of Marvell’s analog engineering team in Vancouver since 2021. Before that, I moved here from Toronto and spent time working at PMC-Sierra, then later transitioned to Inphi in 2016, before finally joining Marvell through its acquisition of Inphi. Our Vancouver office may be small, with just 10-15 engineers and 5-6 analog designers, but we’ve been able to do some incredible work together. Typical project teams span multiple sites across the globe, and no matter where we are, there are opportunities to make significant contributions.
I got my start as a more traditional designer. Then I eventually transitioned my career into an architectural role at Marvell, focusing on clocking architectures. Clocking is a key component of high-performance interfaces, especially as we push the limits of technology to meet the needs of Next Gen data centers and AI connectivity. As we push data rates faster and faster, the quality of the clock and timing uncertainty starts to dominate link performance and is becoming a key area where we are trying to innovate. Over the years, I’ve led teams through various projects, starting at 7 nanometers and moving down to 5, 3, and now even 2 nanometer designs. These clocking architectures are used in most of Marvell’s optical connectivity products, and they’re critical for our success in the future 1.6TB market and our next-gen coherent DSPs.
