Electrical Validation Intern, BS - Summer 2027

Marvell Technology•Santa Clara, CA

21h•$28 - $56•Onsite

About The Position

Our team performs the electrical validation of custom Marvell ASICs built around high-speed Ethernet and PCIe IO, the silicon that powers modern data center infrastructure. Day to day, we characterize demanding high-speed measurements on precision instrumentation and scale the Python test automation that makes validation faster and more repeatable. You will join a close-knit group of about eight engineers based on-site in Santa Clara, working at the intersection of high-speed hardware and validation test infrastructure. That work directly enables the products that connect enterprise, cloud, AI, and carrier networks.

Requirements

Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with an expected graduation date between Fall 2027 – Summer 2028
Solid grasp of engineering fundamentals and an understanding of microelectronic circuits and systems
Knowledge of, or strong interest in, RF systems or high-speed data transmission and signal integrity
Programming experience in Python, with test automation experience a plus
Knowledge of electronics and printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) is desired
Experience with data processing and visualization is desired

Responsibilities

Analyze overnight test data and compare results against expected outcomes.
Set up and calibrate high-speed benches using oscilloscopes, bit error rate testers, network analyzers, and pattern generators.
Characterize device parameters and document findings in summary reports for your manager.
Debug unexpected results with your mentor and team until a solution is found.
Build Python automation and AI-assisted validation agents, using tools such as Claude and Glean, to speed up daily routines.
