Physical Design and Implementation Engineer, ASIC

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.

As a Physical Design and Implementation Engineer, you will develop high-performance hardware and software to enable Google’s continuous innovations in working with Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC). You will work with Architects and Logic Designers to drive architectural feasibility studies, develop timing, power, and area design goals and explore RTL/design tradeoffs for physical design closure. You'll also work with Verification and Software teams to understand and implement the design requirements for clocking and power management.

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.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• 2 years of experience.
• Experience in one or more synthesis/PnR tools (e.g., Genus, Innovus, DC, ICC).
• Experience in high-performance synthesis, PnR, and sign-off optimizations. Experience in sign-off convergence, including STA, electrical checks, and physical verification.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience in computer architecture.
• Knowledge of Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Understanding of circuit design, device physics and deep submicron technology.
• Effective skills with scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, and/or Perl.
