Job Description

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.
Must have:
  • RTL coding (Verilog/SystemVerilog)
  • Experience with industry-standard IC development tools
  • UPF for low-power design (specification, verification, implementation)
  • Collaboration with cross-functional teams
  • SoC-level RTL design
Good to have:
  • Low-power design techniques (clock gating, power gating, DVFS)
  • SOC implementation standards and interfaces (AXI)
  • Scripting languages (Tcl, Python, Perl)
  • Formal verification and DFT techniques
  • Master's or PhD in relevant field
Perks:
  • Bonus
  • Equity
  • Benefits

Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3 years of experience with RTL coding using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
  • 2 years of experience with industry-standard tools, languages and methodologies relevant to the development of silicon-based ICs and chips.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture, or a related field.
  • Experience with low-power design techniques such as clock gating, power gating, and DVFS.
  • Experience with SOC implementation standards, interfaces (i.e. AXI) and scripting languages (i.e. Tcl, Python or Perl).
  • Experience in UPF for low-power design, including power intent specification, verification, and implementation.
  • Experience with formal verification methods and design for testability (DFT) techniques.
  • Understanding of digital design fundamentals, including synchronous and asynchronous logic, state machines, and bus protocols.
