Solutions Intern - Systems Modeling (FPGA)

Overview

Solutions intern on Marvell's systems modeling team, prototyping and validating next-generation protocols and interconnects for large-scale AI infrastructure using FPGA prototypes and simulation.

What you'll do

• Design, implement, and test FPGA prototypes of networking and interconnect protocols.
• Implement and validate protocol behavior in hardware, measuring latency, throughput, and correctness.
• Model workloads and study protocol behavior using trace-driven and analytical methods on platforms like Murals.
• Profile bottlenecks across compute, memory, and network layers, and correlate hardware results with simulation.
• Collaborate with architects on emerging technologies (CXL, PCIe, RDMA/RoCE, UET/UEC, in-network compute).
• Test implementations in simulated and real environments and iterate on the designs.
• Document workflows, share findings, and drive peer learning.

What you'll need

• Enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Engineering, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong foundation in computer architecture, digital design, and computer networks.
• Solid understanding of networking and interconnect protocols (TCP/IP, RDMA/RoCE, PCIe, switching/routing).
• Hands-on experience in FPGA prototyping with Verilog/SystemVerilog or VHDL, or in simulation and modeling with frameworks such as Astra-Sim, Chakra, gem5, SST, or NS-3 (one or both).
• Strong programming skills in C/C++, Python, and scripting for automation.
• Ability to generate ideas, run experiments, and communicate results clearly.

Nice to have

• Exposure to interconnect and memory technologies (CXL, PCIe, NVLink, UAL).
• Experience with high-speed interfaces, protocol design, or hardware verification.
• Familiarity with performance profiling and analysis tools.
• Interest in AI infrastructure or next-generation data movement.
