Ejaz Ahamed Shaik became Marvell's first GenAI intern. Talent Brand's Mary Gorges sat down with him to talk chips, code, and finding your way into STEM. His advice for high schoolers: “Build a strong foundation in math and physics. If computer science courses are available, take them.”
“It's an incredible opportunity. The job market for software development engineers is now very competitive, especially with advancements in AI. Being at Marvell, where there's a strong focus on innovation, lets me work on cutting-edge projects and contribute to the future of technology.”
“My main focus is a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system to assist developers with Verilog queries and design issues — detecting early anomalies in chip design before they get costly. We're also developing a custom large language model specifically for Verilog design and verification.”
“GenAI understands and writes code with an accuracy traditional code can't match. It's like having an intelligent assistant — solving problems using natural language makes it incredibly powerful.”
“A big portion of my time goes to researching and developing LLM-powered systems, and interacting with teams to explore integrating GenAI into their workflows — like building extensions to Copilot and fine-tuning models with Verilog data.”
“My background is in electronics and I was always passionate about the semiconductor industry. After working as a software engineer and diving into AI and ML, this role — aligning GenAI and semiconductors — seemed a perfect fit.”
“In high school I loved math, physics and chemistry. Watching documentaries about Einstein and Tesla made me dream of becoming a scientist. Seek out good mentors, talk to people, and remember there's no single right way — I didn't take computer science in high school, and here I am.”
Diana Sandu joined Marvell through the Inphi acquisition in her fourth year of an Electrical Engineering degree — and grew across six roles into a Packaging Engineering Manager. Her advice for anyone starting out:

“It's crucial to gain a solid theoretical foundation in the field you pursue, as it provides a background to learn and research new things. Never stop asking questions about how things work.”
“STEM is a vast field, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the different paths available. Don't feel confined to a single area, and don't hesitate to explore what interests you most.”
“Always be curious and don't be afraid to ask questions. Being in STEM is all about taking the initiative of building your own journey, and being inquisitive is a way to grow.”
“When choosing your first internship or job, it is equally important to consider the atmosphere of the team and company culture along with the actual role.”
“I learned math in an environment that encouraged students to have fun. When looking for jobs, look for problems in society you are passionate about solving using your STEM skills.”
Advice from Shawn Crowley, Senior University Recruiter at Marvell Technology, for students preparing to enter one of the most exciting and competitive periods in technology.
Marvell is an AI infrastructure semiconductor company. We design the custom silicon, interconnects, switches and optical systems that power the world's largest AI data centers.
Candidates who understand why AI infrastructure is difficult, and why the silicon layer is where critical innovation happens, stand out immediately.
We also recruit for finance, HR, legal and technical program management. Exposure to AI tools and workflows is increasingly valuable across every technical discipline.
Make hardware-relevant coursework, tools and projects easy to see. Highlight Computer Architecture, Digital Design, VLSI, Verilog, Python scripting or EDA tools when they relate to the role.
Ask sharp, specific questions that show real research. Thoughtful questions about Marvell's technology or the team's engineering challenges land far better than generic ones.
