About the role
Google's silicon team develops custom silicon solutions that power the company's direct-to-consumer hardware products, combining Google AI, Software, and Hardware research and design. The team works on complex System-on-Chip architectures from pre-silicon verification through tape-out and post-silicon bring-up. This role leads and mentors a design verification organization, driving SoC-level verification, emulation strategy, and post-silicon debug for production-grade silicon.
What you will do
- Lead and manage comprehensive verification activities for complex System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures, ensuring robust quality standards from pre-silicon to tape-out.
- Manage and mentor high-performing engineering teams, driving execution, fostering a culture of technical excellence, and supporting career growth.
- Drive SoC-level pre-silicon emulation strategies (e.g., Palladium, Zebu, SimXL) to accelerate hardware-software co-verification, boot operating systems, and catch complex system-level bugs early.
- Oversee complex post-silicon debug activities, collaborating closely with post-silicon validation teams to root-cause silicon issues, bring up hardware, and correlate pre-silicon verification coverage with actual silicon behavior.
- Develop and scale aspects of logic verification infrastructure and advanced methodologies across the SoC, maintaining strong integration standards with architecture, design, and cross-functional teams.
Skills used in this role
Preferred qualifications
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience in verification of high-bandwidth memory subsystems (DDR5, LPDDR5, HBM) including physical layer (PHY) training, memory controllers, and JEDEC compliance.
- Experience directly managing high-performing engineering teams with a proven track record of successfully delivering complex, production-grade SoCs.
- Experience in SoC-level verification and strong design verification (DV) fundamentals using universal verification methodology (UVM)-based environments, and with with pre-silicon emulation platforms and hardware accelerators (e.g., SimXL, formal verification, or portable stimulus standard/PSS).
- Excellent programming skills in SystemVerilog, Verilog, and scripting languages like Python or Perl.
Benefits and support
- Compensation and benefits are detailed in the job posting
