Test Engineering Intern, BS - Summer 2027

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

As a test development engineer in the Operations business group, you will test features on the silicon semiconductor chips Marvell produces for internal and external customers. You will make sure we don’t ship out any underperforming units. You’ll work closely with design to make sure their chip features are testable and that the results meet the customer’s specifications. You may even have to write new code or develop new testing strategies when our chips outpace the capabilities of current testing equipment.

What You Can Expect

In this on-site environment in Santa Clara, CA and additional locations, you will work under the direction of a mentor and team lead to verify code, verify the test program across a large number of individual parts, and flag any parts giving unexpected results that should be investigated further. You’ll replicate the work on the test bench environment and do a correlation exercise with the design and verification teams to determine a root cause of any unexpected behavior.
This team uses Python, Visual Basic, and C for various aspects of test development as well as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, Teradyne Ultraflex tester and Advantest 93K testers. This team owns all test engineering activities related to the new product introduction (NPI) plan including new silicon bring-up, release of sampling test programs, release of qualification and characterization test programs, release of production test programs, and optimization of test time and yield.
You’ll work very closely with members of your own team as well as people from different design groups, marketing, program management, quality assurance, and other operations teams to move projects forward successfully.

What We're Looking For

To be successful in this role, you must:
- Pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a similar field.
- Experience with Digital/Analog circuit fundamentals gathered from Digital communication, Analog circuit design, Algorithm and Programming coursework, research, and projects.
- Software development experience and coding in a general-purpose programming language.
- Be able to read schematics and research different chips on the schematics.
- Be comfortable with Python, C, Visual Basic, and typical bench testing instruments like oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers.
- Be able to communicate with teams in other departments efficiently and clearly so that everyone is up to date.

Expected Base Pay Range (USD)

25 - 50, $ 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.
