Your Team, Your Impact

Marvell’s Digital Logic & Design Verification Graduate Co-Op Program offers hands-on experience developing next-generation semiconductor technologies. This role is designed for students interested in digital IC design, SoC architecture, and verification methodologies, working on high-performance chips used in the scale up and scale out of AI data centers and other enterprise level applications.

This team hires some of the biggest problem solvers in Silicon and has a huge impact on the work done at Marvell. You'll be working on chips that ship to some of the largest enterprise applications globally.

Co-ops will gain exposure across the design lifecycle—from RTL development to simulation, verification, and silicon validation—while collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams.

What You Can Expect

• Contribute to RTL design and implementation of digital logic blocks for ASICs/SoCs
• Support micro-architecture development, design specification, and implementation
• Assist with synthesis, timing analysis, and design reviews
• Collaborate with verification and physical design teams to ensure design quality

• Develop and execute verification test plans for digital and SoC designs
• Build simulation environments, testbenches, and verification components
• Debug simulation failures and analyze coverage
• Work closely with design engineers to ensure functional correctness and performance

• Use industry-standard tools such as Verilog/SystemVerilog, UVM, and scripting languages
• Automate workflows and analyze data using Python or similar tools
• Support end-to-end chip development from architecture through validation
• Collaborate with global engineering teams on leading-edge semiconductor products

What We're Looking For

• Currently enrolled in a Master’s or PhD program in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• Strong foundation in digital logic design and computer architecture
• Familiarity with HDL languages such as Verilog or SystemVerilog
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills

• Exposure to UVM or formal verification methodologies
• Experience with RTL design, simulation, or FPGA-based projects
• Knowledge of scripting languages (Python, Perl, TCL, or shell)
• Familiarity with SoC design concepts or high-speed interfaces (e.g., PCIe, DDR)
• Prior internship or academic project experience in digital design or verification

Expected Base Pay Range (USD)

35 - 70, $ 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.

Interview Integrity

To support fair and authentic hiring practices, candidates are not permitted to use AI tools (such as transcription apps, real-time answer generators like ChatGPT or Copilot, or automated note-taking bots) during interviews.

These tools must not be used to record, assist with, or enhance responses in any way. Our interviews are designed to evaluate your individual experience, thought process, and communication skills in real time. Use of AI tools without prior instruction from the interviewer will result in disqualification from the hiring process.

This position may require access to technology and/or software subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). As such, applicants must be eligible to access export-controlled information as defined under applicable law. Marvell may be required to obtain export licensing approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce and/or the U.S. Department of State. Except for U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or protected individuals as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), all applicants may be subject to an export license review process prior to employment.
