Job Description

The Physical Design CPU Lead at Google Cloud will lead the physical design of the CPU to tape-out, collaborating with multiple team members. Responsibilities encompass evaluating and developing physical design methodologies, defining SoC flows, working with architects and logic designers on feasibility studies, and establishing design targets (timing, power, area). The role includes participation in design reviews, issue resolution, and technical/schedule tradeoff discussions. The successful candidate will create execution plans, manage team efforts from concept to production silicon, and define physical design strategies to meet quality and schedule goals. This role requires deep expertise in advanced design techniques, including clock/voltage domain crossing, DFT, and low-power designs within a high-performance, high-frequency environment.

Must have:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
SoC cycle experience
Advanced design experience (clock/voltage domain crossing, DFT, low power)
High-performance, high-frequency, low-power design experience
Lead physical design to tape-out
Develop physical design methodologies

Good to have:

VLSI design experience in SoC or ASIC
System Verilog and TCL scripting experience
Layout verification and design rule experience

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

Lead physical design of the CPU to tape-out while working with multiple team members.
Evaluate and develop physical design methodologies and decide on the System on a Chip (SoC) flow.
Work with architects and logic designers to drive architectural feasibility studies, develop timing, power and area design targets, and explore Register-Transfer Level (RTL)/design tradeoffs for physical design closure.
Participate in design reviews and track issue resolution, and engage in technical and schedule tradeoff discussions. Create execution plans for projects and manage team efforts from concept to working silicon in volume.
Understand architecture and design specifications with the team, and define physical design strategies and tactics to meet quality and schedule goals.
