Company spokesman Bill Blanning said Tuesday that Samueli resumed his role in December as the company's senior vice president and chief technical officer.
Samueli stepped down as CTO in 2008 during a probe into allegations of illegal stock options backdating, but continued to serve as a full-time technology adviser to Broadcom.
Last month, a federal judge dismissed criminal charges against two other Broadcom officials related to backdating allegations and vacated a guilty plea by Samueli to a single count of lying to Securities and Exchange Commission investigators.
