This SoC UPF Design Engineer role at Google Cloud involves designing and implementing RTL code for data center accelerators.  Responsibilities include owning top-level RTL, architecture, and implementation of communication buses, as well as integrating complex ASIC designs.  The role requires collaboration with various teams (Physical Design, Verification, Validation, Firmware) and defining methodologies for efficient design.  You'll develop and maintain UPF specifications for power management and ensure design functionality and power integrity.  Experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog, industry-standard tools, and UPF for low-power design is crucial.
