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

Working alongside experienced engineers, you will learn how circuit designs are translated into physical layouts that meet performance, area, and reliability requirements. You may support building blocks such as high-speed interfaces, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, phase-locked loops, and clock generation and distribution circuits.

This internship offers an opportunity to build practical IC layout skills, contribute to project deliverables, and collaborate with design and layout teams across locations.

What You Can Expect

• Learn and apply analog layout fundamentals, including device matching, symmetry, floor planning, routing, and parasitic awareness.

• Assist with the layout of analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks under the guidance of experienced engineers.

• Gain practical experience with industry-standard layout tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and/or Synopsys Custom Compiler.

• Perform design rule checks (DRC) and layout-versus-schematic (LVS) verification using tools such as Siemens Calibre, and help resolve issues with mentor support.

• Participate in layout reviews and learn how layout decisions affect circuit performance and reliability.

• Document your work, share progress, and collaborate with local and overseas team members.

• Where applicable, contribute to scripting or automation tasks that improve layout efficiency and quality.
