About the job

Be part of a 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.

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

• Maintain and upgrade emulation models and infrastructure and act as a primary interface to emulation vendors.

• Explore emulation methodologies, gather feedback from the team and customers, and implement emulation workflows and methodologies.

• Create tooling and automation to support emulation EDA tools, licensing, and job management in Google infrastructure.

• Support emulation team members with debugging hardware, tooling, and project-specific issues.

• Help to bring up external interfaces (e.g., DDR, PCIe, Ethernet, etc.) on the emulation platforms and create standalone test cases for tool issues encountered in the emulation compile and runtime flows.

Minimum qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• 8 years of experience with emulation systems (e.g., Ze Bu Server, Palladium, Veloce), compilation, debug, performance and methodology enhancements.

• Experience with coding and scripting in C, C++, Perl, TCL, or Python.

• Experience with coding in Verilog/System Verilog for design.

• Experience with associated EDA tools, automation, and flow enhancements.

• Experience with design debug tools (e.g., Verdi, Verisium).

Preferred qualifications

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.

• 2 years of experience with emulation systems (e.g., Ze Bu Server, Palladium, Veloce), compilation, debug, performance and methodology enhancements.

• Experience with hardware verification concepts and tools (e.g., simulation, coverage, assertions, CPU Arch, SoC, fabric, networking).

• Experience in embedded software and firmware (linux drivers, firmware validation).

• Experience with FPGA systems (e.g., EP, HAPS, Protium).

• Experience with hybrid emulation or speed bridges.
