Firmware Engineering Intern

About This Role

• has travelled through many of Marvell's DSPs to reach your computer, and our products are a key part of the biggest AI clusters that power all the latest generative AI projects.
• Interns are paired with a mentor who supports them throughout the internship, offering guidance and ongoing feedback on their performance and development.
• They also have the opportunity to attend a variety of networking events, where they can connect with fellow interns and engage with team members across the organization.
• What You Can Expect Developing embedded C firmware for controlling DSP HW Developing C & Python test code for utilities, GUIs, regression, and simulation infrastructure Taking an idea from concept through design, review, implementation, testing, and release to customers Work on mission-critical features for top-tier cloud customers Debug difficult issues, drive to root causes with HW/SW teams, and follow up with Jira tickets to get bugs resolved.
• Some possible tasks will be: Breaking up a firmware routine into sub-routines with a coordinating finite state machine to manage tasks in parallel (bare metal C programming).
• Optimizing subroutines to make the best use of a multi-core MCU architecture.
• Improve error management flow and reports generated by the firmware.
• Scripting for system performance analysis of a customer's prototype optical module.
• You will gain experience with: Software development cycle.
• Infrastructure configuration and management.
• Software regression planning and execution.
• Linux and Windows-based development.
• Continuous Integration (Jenkins) methodologies.
• Python, bash, and make scripting and automation.
