About the job

Be part of a diverse team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.

With your technical expertise, you lead projects in multiple areas of expertise (i.e., engineering domains or systems) within a data center facility, including construction and equipment installation/troubleshooting/debugging with vendors.

In this role you will help architect, design, and bring up Emulation or FPGA or Prototyping systems to serve our ASIC projects. You will work directly with other team members as well as designers, DV Engineers, Validation Engineers, and software teams to deliver emulation or prototyping capabilities. This may include designing the testbench, monitors, or transactors for Emulation or Prototyping systems.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

• Create and support emulation models from RTL. Drive system bringup on emulation platforms, debug test failures and simulation/emulation mismatches.
• Bring up external I/O interfaces (e.g., PCIe, Memories, SERDES, SPI, JTAG etc.) on the emulation platforms.
• Develop and operate tests on the emulators and assist in bring-up processes from prototyping through post-silicon validation.
• Create standalone test cases for tool issues encountered in the emulation compile and runtime flows.
• Contribute to ongoing methodology and automation improvements, constantly evolving and improving emulation efficiency and value.
