You'll also perform technical evaluations of EDA tools and methodologies. The ideal candidate possesses a strong background in static timing analysis, physical design, and semiconductor device physics.
Must have:
  • 10+ years experience in static timing analysis
  • Full chip timing signoff ownership
  • EDA tool expertise (Primetime, Tempus etc.)
  • Timing closure experience
  • Constraint authoring and verification
Good to have:
  • Experience leading physical design
  • Knowledge of semiconductor device physics
  • SPICE simulation experience
  • Experience with large, high-performance compute ASICs
Perks:
  • Bonus
  • Equity
  • Benefits

Job Details

Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 10 years of experience in static timing (i.e., full chip timing signoff ownership, constraint authoring and verification, full chip static timing analysis and timing ECO creation, timing margins).
  • Experience with Electronic design automation (EDA) tools (i.e. Primetime, Tempus, Timevision, STAR-RC) and EDA Tcl commands for timing analysis, timing closure, parasitic extraction, noise glitch, crosstalk).

Preferred qualifications:

  • 15 years of experience in the domain of static timing analysis.
  • Experience leading one or more aspects of physical design or physical design flow/methodology, to successful tape-outs and shipping silicon.
  • Experience in extraction of design parameters, QoR metrics, and analyzing data trends.
  • Knowledge of semiconductor device physics and Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE) simulation and full-chip static timing topics, including clocking, timing exceptions, time budgeting, IO interface timing, ECOs, and constraint verification.

About the job

Be part of a diverse team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. 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.

In this role, you will work on the physical implementation of Application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) using advanced technology nodes. You will work on timing margin derivation, constraint development and validation, and timing closure of large, complex high performance compute ASICs. You will develop static timing methodologies, margins, automation scripts, and write documentation. You will perform technical evaluations of vendors, tools, methodologies, and will provide recommendations. Additionally, you will work with architecture, logic design, and Design for testing (DFT) teams to understand and implement their requirements.

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.
