SoC Design Engineer, Cloud

About the position

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. In this role, you will be part of a group of engineers to uplift an existing on-chip connectivity solution into one that will be programmatically assembled, instantiated and optimized. Your expertise will inform the architecture and micro-architectural modifications of the solution to enable discrete blocks of functionality to be assembled and instantiated by software to provide customized and flexible implementations. You will work in providing users the ability to customize the performance, power and area of the solution based on the needs of the system. You will also work within the team to manage SoC IP integration and participate in System-on-a-Chip (SoC) level sign-off activities. 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.
