Test Engineering Intern, MS - Summer 2027

Marvell Technology•Santa Clara, CA

11d•$30 - $61•Onsite

About The Position

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. In this on-site environment in Santa Clara, CA, 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.
