A new year brings time to reflect and plan what you are going to do differently. One of the key areas of reflection, for me, is about my career goals and aspirations for the next year.
I’ve always been focused on planning my career and finding the right path for me. Growing up, I was playing different types of sports, singing, and dancing, all with one goal in mind: to figure out what I enjoyed most. I always had the mindset that I didn’t have to be an expert in everything, but I should give it all a try. I loved having different hobbies and skills and learning new things.

In celebration of Black History Month, the Global Semiconductor Alliance’s Women’s Leadership Initiative (GSA WLI) is highlighting the contributions of Black women in the semiconductor space. This month, Yasmin Adams, Principal Finance Professional at Marvell, has been recognized as a leading professional in the industry.
Yasmin has been involved in the semiconductor industry since the origin of her career. After graduating college, she joined Inphi while still a startup and was a member of the team that ultimately took the company to IPO, an experience she found very valuable. “Being surrounded by such driven people and having great mentors early on really shaped my career,” she recalls.
While completing her MBA, Yasmin worked full time while navigating a major acquisition and the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. She describes this period as a test of resilience, noting that her drive came from the understanding that “there were people before [her] who fought for their right to an education.”

1. Step Outside Your Comfort Zone
I joined Marvell through the Inphi acquisition back in 2021 during my fourth year of my BSc program. I studied Electrical Engineering and Applied Electronics at the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest. Before joining, I wasn't familiar with Marvell or any other semiconductor companies, nor did I have any background in packaging design. When a friend of mine, who had previously interned at Marvell, told me about the internship, I decided to apply.
2. Don’t Be Afraid to Try
A few months into the internship, a 6-month program, one of the projects I was working on with two other interns was sold to a client, which meant we then worked on a tight schedule solving challenging technical issues in real time. We were working on a design for 5G communication, using 2.5D Packaging, which includes the interposer. The project taught me so much about layout and packaging design and helped me gain the skills I needed. During the project, I became a full-time employee as a Junior Packaging and Signal Integrity Engineer.
