About the job
Our computational challenges are so big, complex and unique we can't just purchase off-the-shelf hardware, we've got to make it ourselves. Your team designs and builds the hardware, software and networking technologies that power all of Google's services. As a Hardware Engineer, you design and build the systems that are the heart of the world's largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. You develop from the lowest levels of circuit design to large system design and see those systems all the way through to high volume manufacturing. Your work has the potential to shape the machinery that goes into our cutting-edge data centers affecting millions of Google users.
Google Custom IP (Foundry Tech) team seeks a mid-level design engineer with expertise in the timing characterization of custom digital Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) circuits.
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people's lives better through technology.
Responsibilities
- Generate timing collaterals for custom digital CMOS circuits utilizing industry-standard tools such as Liberate or Silicon-Spice. Analyze and validate characterized timing data.
- Perform statistical simulations to ensure the robustness of custom circuits.
- Participate in Silicon-Spice correlation activities to improve Performance, Power, Area (PPA) of custom digital circuits.
- Collaborate closely with the internal circuit design team and the System-on-a-Chip (SoC) team and understand customization requirements.
- Provide guidance and mentorship to junior and temporary engineers, as necessary.
