As a System-on-Chip (SoC) Verification Engineer, you will perform a critical role in validating next-generation hardware. You will be responsible for developing and executing comprehensive Design Verification (DV) strategies to ensure the functionality and reliability of the Central Processing Unit (CPU). Success in this role requires a deep understanding of CPU architecture and microarchitecture, specifically within the Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) ecosystem. You will collaborate with the Design Verification (DV) team to build reusable verification components and interface with cross-functional groups to align technical requirements.

The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's various computing software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our first party devices and services that combine the best of Google AI, software, and hardware. Teams across this area research, design, and develop new technologies to make our user's interaction with computing faster and more seamless, building innovative experiences for our users around the world.

Responsibilities

• Verify designs using verification techniques and methodologies.

• Work cross-functionally to debug failures and verify the functional correctness of the design.

• Provide test plans, including verification strategy, environment, components, stimulus, checks, and coverage, and ensure documentation is easy to use.

Minimum qualifications

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

• 4 years of experience in modern CPU architectures, with particular emphasis on ARM-based microarchitectural features.

• Experience with AMBA buses like CHI (Coherent Hub Interface) and ACE (AXI Coherency Extensions), as well as cache coherency protocols.

Preferred qualifications

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

• Experience in ARM Assembly (assembly-based test case development) or C Programming.
