Your Team, Your Impact

If you picture Marvell as a wheel, Central Engineering is the center hub providing IP to be used by all the other spokes on that wheel, including Storage, Security, and Networking. You’ll be part of a small analog team making a big impact on this organization. Additionally, Marvell has the perfect size and scale for you to learn several aspects of engineering that will be new to you, but also have the time and freedom to dive deep into the details of your specialization on most projects.

The successful candidate will be self-motivated, willing to learn exciting new technologies, and be able to work effectively within a talented group of individuals. You will gain exposure to a variety of IC design engineering skills and tools during your internship.

The Internship would be for a duration of up to 6 months and will take place in our Pavia office.

What You Can Expect

• Learn the use of all the different IC layout development CAD and physical verification tools.
• Train on Mask/layout design using Cadence Virtuoso EXL/Custom Compiler Synopsys using circuit design as input.
• Learn design rules of advanced CMOS technology nodes (16nm to 3nm).
• Run DRC/LVS checks.
• Learn Electromigration/IR drop (EMIR) concepts for analog IC layout.
• Optimize layout designs in terms of area and parasitic R,C.
• Work with team and collaborate effectively with people for effective outcomes.
• Have routine meetings with your technical mentor when you have questions, as well as the layout team and the project team where you may have to speak to the entire group and update them about your progress. You may have to present a particular issue or solution you’ve encountered. We are developing brand new cutting-edge technologies here, so we learn new things frequently and share with our colleagues.
