Your Team, Your Impact

The Central Cad And Design Services (CCDS) Physical Design team at Marvell is seeking candidates for a Physical Design engineering intern position. Projects within CCDS range from artificial intelligence and machine learning to wired and wireless infrastructure, with the latest technology nodes. The team utilizes the latest EDA software tools and works through the technical challenges to ensure we meet the performance, power, and area requirements of the design. This position will work in tandem with the other Physical Design related teams, such as Timing, Physical Verification, Power Integrity.

What You Can Expect

• If chosen as an intern at the Morrisville, NC site, you will be immersed into the Semiconductor Physical Design process, working with Place+Route and Timing Analysis teams.
• Depending on your previous Physical Design experience, the team will customize your experience to learn and grow these skills.
  • For less experienced interns, you will be giving training on the Physical Design Flow, and assigned an appropriate project to utilize those new skills.
  • For more experienced interns, we will enhance your current knowledge on Physical Design, and be given a challenging assignment and project with possible product block implementation.
• Focus will be on RTL-to-Oasis and could be any part of floorplanning, synthesis, place and route, clock insertion, timing closure, electromigration, multi-voltage UPF analysis, formal equivalency checking, and physical verification.
• Utilize industry standard EDA tools from Cadence, Synopsys, and Siemens
• Write scripts in Python, TCL, Perl, UNIX Shell to aid design and development activities, including flow enhancement or development.
