Analog Design Intern (Master's Degree)

Job Title

Analog Design Intern (Master's Degree)

Role Summary

Join Marvell's Broadband Analog group to design and validate high-speed analog and mixed-signal circuits for optical fiber data communication. The role involves work on transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs), drivers, and other broadband analog blocks for data center and telecom applications.

You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to support post-silicon validation, qualification, and transition to production.

Experience Level

Entry-level intern (Master's or PhD students); suitable for current graduate students. Typical experience: academic project and lab experience in analog IC design.

Responsibilities

Typical responsibilities include:

• Design and simulate high-performance analog circuits for optical front-end receivers (TIAs, drivers).
• Develop transmission-line and millimeter-wave structures to meet target performance.
• Perform analog custom layout and prepare designs for tape-out.
• Measure and debug silicon; correlate measurements with simulations.
• Design ancillary analog blocks (linear regulators, AGC loops, sensors, bandgaps) as required.
• Work with verification, packaging, and manufacturing teams to support validation and production handoff.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience (extracted from posting, excluding degree items listed separately under Education Requirements):

• Experience with EDA CAD tools and analog custom layout.
• Experience measuring IC performance and debugging to correlate simulation and measurement.
• Strong understanding of transistor-level design, device physics, and control/feedback loop stability.
• Prior project experience in high-performance receiver design, including lab evaluation and chip tape-out is preferred.
• Good communication, presentation, and documentation skills; ability to work in a team.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with AGC loops, high-precision analog (regulators, current sensors, bandgaps, DAC/ADC), or continuous-time linear equalizers.
• Familiarity with package-system integration issues.
• Experience across technologies such as SiGe BiCMOS and FinFET CMOS.

Education Requirements

Must be actively pursuing a Master's (MS) or PhD in Electrical Engineering with emphasis on analog/mixed-signal IC design. The posting specifies electrical engineering and analog/mixed-signal focus; no alternate-equivalent-experience language was provided.

Compensation and Benefits

Expected base pay range: USD 39–76 per hour. Intern benefits include medical, dental, vision, mental health resources, paid holidays, and potential additional compensation for PhD interns.

Other Notes

May require eligibility for access to export-controlled technology and subject to export license review for non-U.S. citizens. Interview integrity rules prohibit use of AI tools during interviews.
