What is an Internship RTL Design job?

An Internship in RTL (Register Transfer Level) Design involves working on digital circuit design using hardware description languages like Verilog or VHDL. Interns assist in designing, simulating, and verifying digital circuits, ensuring they meet performance and power requirements. They often work with FPGA or ASIC teams to validate designs and optimize hardware implementations. This role provides hands-on experience in hardware development and exposure to industry-standard tools like Synopsys, Cadence, or Xilinx.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Internship Rtl Design position, and why are they important?

To thrive as an RTL Design Intern, you need a solid understanding of digital design concepts, hardware description languages like Verilog or VHDL, and enrollment in or completion of a degree in electrical or computer engineering. Familiarity with simulation tools such as ModelSim or Synopsys VCS, and basic knowledge of EDA tools and version control systems, is typically expected. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are highly valued soft skills in this role. These skills ensure you can efficiently contribute to design teams, troubleshoot issues, and communicate technical concepts clearly, all of which are critical for successful hardware development.

What are the typical responsibilities of an RTL Design Intern during their internship?

As an RTL Design Intern, you will usually assist with the design, implementation, and verification of digital circuits using hardware description languages. Your daily work may include writing RTL code, debugging simulation results, collaborating with senior engineers, and participating in code and design reviews. You’ll also help with testbench creation, documentation, and possibly automate design tasks to support the larger engineering team. The role offers valuable hands-on experience and insight into the full design cycle, making it a great learning opportunity for those interested in digital hardware engineering.

Job description

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
Join Marvell's Custom Compute Solutions Business Unit (CCSBU) as we establish our design presence in San Diego's thriving semiconductor ecosystem.
This team will be responsible for delivering high-quality customer silicon for advanced AI, XPU, and XPU-Attach programs. By partnering closely with customers and internal stakeholders, the design center will enable Marvell's most strategic and financially significant custom SoC initiatives, delivering differentiated solutions that reinforce Marvell's position as a trusted partner for next-generation compute platforms.
This is a rare technical leadership opportunity - you'll help shape design strategy from the ground up and build a world-class team as part of our strategic expansion into Southern California. You're not joining an established local team - you're building one. You'll define the culture, establish the methodology, and shape the technical DNA of Marvell's San Diego design organization.
What You Can Expect
  • Shape the micro-architecture of the chip
  • Write specifications and define micro-architecture of the design
  • Implement designs using low-power RTL coding techniques
  • Collaborate with the verification team on the verification test plan, coverage analysis, and full-chip simulation plus debug
  • Write SVA assertions for dynamic simulation and apply them in formal verification
  • Prepare and present design reviews
  • Work with the physical design team in aiding the implementation of the functional blocks
  • Interact with the project manager to scope and assign tasks
  • Provide reasonable and accurate schedule estimates and follow through to meet them in spite of surprises
  • Proactively communicate challenges and provide contingency plan recommendations to management
  • Work with multiple design centers and design groups to shape future methodology
  • Support the post silicon team to bring up silicon in the lab
  • Work with the software team to ensure product meets customer use cases
  • Provide expert product support in post-silicon debug environments

What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields and 17+ years of related professional experience. Or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields with 12-15+ years of experience. Or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields with 10-12+ years of experience.
To be successful in this role you will need the following skills:
  • Fluent in SystemVerilog RTL coding techniques.
  • Experience in high speed, multiple clock domain designs
  • Expertise in PCIe, CXL protocols
  • Familiar with modern SoC architectures and various interface technologies such as AXI, DDR, Ethernet, PCIe.
  • Experience in micro-architecture of complex custom/ASIC products involving Chip I/O, shared memory, and embedded processors
  • RTL design experience, synthesis, static-timing closure, formal verification, gate-level simulations, and block-level functional verification.
  • Experience in designing high speed (>1 GHz)/high-performance embedded processor SOC products is a plus.
  • Experience in implementation/timing closure for high speed design.
  • Hands-on experience for all aspects of chip-development process with proficiency in front-end design tools and methodologies.
  • Ability to create SVA assertions and apply formal verification concepts and tools
  • Ability to come up with creative and innovative solutions, and display technical leadership from within a team of engineers
  • Excellent verbal and written communication
  • Discipline and rigor in documentation
  • Ability to work efficiently and influentially with team members across multiple sites
  • Enthusiastic about exploring and applying new methods, tools, and process efficiency to ASIC design flow
  • Knowledge of scripting languages such as Python, Perl, Tcl, and UNIX shell is desirable.

Expected Base Pay Range (USD)
212,200 - 314,020, $ per annum
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.
