About the job
In this role, you will develop custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products. You will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration. You will be responsible for generating timing collaterals of custom SRAM/Register File Memory macros. You will collaborate with circuit designers to ensure the correctness of timing arcs. You will need to perform Spice simulations to validate the correctness of timing delays and power numbers. You will also be responsible for coordinating with the SOC team regarding the release of memory collaterals.
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.
Responsibilities
- Generate timing collaterals for custom digital CMOS circuits utilizing industry-standard tools such as Liberate or Silicon-Spice. Analyze and validate characterized timing data.
- Perform statistical simulations to ensure the robustness of custom circuits.
- Participate in Silicon-Spice correlation activities to improve Performance, Power, Area (PPA) of custom digital circuits.
- Collaborate closely with the internal circuit design team and the System-on-a-Chip (SoC) team and understand customization requirements.
- Provide guidance and mentorship to junior and temporary engineers, as needed.
