I\u2019m Shawn Crowley, a University Recruiter at semiconductor company Marvell, and I\u2019m here to help you navigate through the turbulent waters of finding a summer internship \u2026 for 2025! Students are facing a tougher job market these days, with many companies looking for more experience to sophisticated AI skills. So, whether you\u2019ve been through this already or just getting started, we\u2019re here to help. <\/span>

WHEN TO APPLY<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Timing is everything so start early!<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recruiting season kicked off in late August for next summer, so you\u2019ll want to start your job search sooner rather than later. For U.S.-based recruiting, September\/October is the sweet spot. Career fairs begin around this time, so mark your calendars so you don\u2019t miss your most sought-after companies.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some companies might start their recruiting process later, but at Marvell, we\u2019re very careful with our headcount planning. The semiconductor industry is unique and highly cyclical, which affects industry hiring timelines. Don\u2019t wait too long to get started, as being early can make a big difference. Check back often, join talent communities like our one listed <\/span>here,<\/span><\/a> and cast a wide net in terms of internship job titles. Some of our top leaders at Marvell started in parts of the semiconductor industry they had never heard of before their internships! <\/span><\/p>\n

Do the first students to apply have a better chance?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just about being the first to apply. The candidates with the best chances are those who take the time to understand Marvell. While employee referrals can help, what really stands out is when a candidate has done their homework. We\u2019ve seen fantastic software engineers miss out because they didn\u2019t focus on what\u2019s relevant to the role and our industry\u2019s hardware focused skillset. So, do your research and tailor your application and resume.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Certain roles are typically faster to fill than our other roles. Roles related to the design process itself such as RTL, Design Verification and testing opportunities may tend to fill in the first few weeks after opening. We won\u2019t keep our roles online any longer than needed, so if you see something posted that is interesting, don\u2019t delay in getting it under consideration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to remember that you are not alone through all of this. Make sure your resume is reviewed by trusted mentors and friends \u2013 especially ones with knowledge about the industry and space. Beyond that, every school in the U.S. I\u2019ve worked with has a career center that can be very helpful from everything to resume reviews to mock interviewing.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
