Salary: 2- 53, $ 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.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist Marvell engineers in high-performance hardware/system design of all‑optical 400G/800G per lambda coherent DSP reference designs and evaluation platforms including power, control, clocking, high‑speed I/O, and form factor.
• Assist Marvell engineers to architect, simulate and test the industry's best signal integrity with bandwidths exceeding 110GHz.
• Assist Marvell engineers to design and simulate for power integrity critical high power coherent DSPs.
• Collaborate with system, analog, digital, firmware, DFT, FA, validation, and applications teams to define evaluation platform requirements.
• Work with fellow hardware engineer(s) and firmware team for initial board bring‑up.
• Perform failure analysis (FA) on boards and identify necessary repairs.
• Develop and execute individual board validation plans and generate detailed validation reports.
• Work with external PCB fabrication and assembly houses to ensure manufacturable designs and timely delivery of boards.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's degree in electrical or computer engineering with exposure to high‑speed board‑level hardware design. (Currently pursuing a Master's degree in electrical or computer engineering is also noted.)
• Experience Required: Experience in power, analog, clocking, FPGA, μProcessor, μController, memory, ethernet, SERDES, or similar disciplines.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in schematic design and library management using OrCAD CIS/CIP, Altium, or equivalent.
• Experience in high‑frequency signal integrity simulations using Ansys HFSS, Siwave, and ADS or equivalent and measurements using VNA and TDR scopes.
• Experience in analog and power design using PSPICE or equivalent.
• Experience working with board manufacturers and layout engineers to define placement, stack‑up, design rules, etc.
• Experience in bring‑up, test, characterization, and failure analysis (FA) of new boards using multi‑meters (DMM), oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.

Benefits & Perks

• Benefits: For internship roles, Marvell offers a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental and vision coverage, perks and discount programs, wellness and mental health support (including coaching and therapy), paid holidays, paid volunteer days, and paid sick time.
• Compensation: Additional compensation may be available for intern PhD candidates.
