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

The Custom Cloud Solutions (CCS) Hardware Validation Group is responsible for ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of next-generation data center ASIC and SoC products - spanning cloud infrastructure, AI accelerators, network processors, NICs, custom ASICs, SSD controllers, CXL devices, and domain-specific accelerators. Our team owns end-to-end hardware validation, working across the full product lifecycle from early silicon bring-up through system-level qualification. As an intern, you will work alongside experienced engineers in a fully instrumented hardware lab, gaining hands-on exposure to cutting-edge silicon validation across high-speed interfaces and complex platform environments. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to real engineering challenges that directly impact the future of data infrastructure.

What You Can Expect

  • Assist in functional hardware validation and debug activities for platforms utilizing high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, CXL, and Ethernet

  • Support system bring-up tasks by running test cases, collecting data, and documenting results under the guidance of senior engineers

  • Write and execute automation scripts (Python or similar) to streamline silicon testing and validation workflows

  • Operate standard lab equipment - including logic analyzers and oscilloscopes - to assist with signal integrity analysis and system debugging

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, firmware, and validation) to investigate and reproduce hardware or protocol-level issues, and contribute to root-cause analysis

What We're Looking For

  • Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with an expected graduation date of Fall 2027 - Summer 2028

  • Basic understanding of digital logic, computer architecture, or hardware design principles gained through coursework or personal projects

  • Familiarity with at least one scripting or programming language (Python, C, or similar) for writing test scripts or automating tasks

  • Ability to work in a hands-on lab environment and a willingness to learn how to use standard lab equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers)

  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset, with the ability to document findings clearly and work effectively within a team

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Coursework or project experience related to high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, USB, or similar protocols)

  • Exposure to hardware bring-up, FPGA/ASIC design, or embedded systems through academic projects or internships

  • Experience with version control tools (e.g., Git) and basic familiarity with Linux/Unix environments

Expected Base Pay Range (USD)

28 - 56, $ per hour.

The successful candidate's starting base pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location and market conditions. The expected base pay range for this role may be modified based on market conditions.

This role is eligible to participate in Marvell's bonus and equity plans, including a new hire equity grant and annual equity refreshers, ensuring you are rewarded for your contributions and remain invested in the company's long-term success.

Additional Compensation and Benefit Elements

Marvell is committed to providing exceptional, comprehensive benefits that support our employees at every stage - from internship to retirement and through life's most important moments. Our offerings are built around four key pillars: financial well-being, family support, mental and physical health, and recognition. Highlights for our interns: medical, dental, and vision coverage, perks and discounts, robust mental health resources to prioritize emotional well-being, and paid holidays. Additional compensation may be available for intern PhD candidates. We look forward to sharing more with you during the interview process.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or protected veteran status.

These tools must not be used to record, assist with, or enhance responses in any way. Our interviews are designed to evaluate your individual experience, thought process, and communication skills in real time. Use of AI tools without prior instruction from the interviewer will result in disqualification from the hiring process.
