Silicon Validation Engineer, Google Cloud

Job description

Own the bringup and New Product Introduction (NPI) phases of the silicon development lifecycle. Enable custom silicon products within the platform infrastructure systems. Integrate and validate complex hardware/software designs in pre-silicon through functional bringup. Develop the integration plan, coordinate hardware and software delivery, and create necessary tests for validation. Develop detailed test plans, based on design specifications and coordinate with a cross-functional teams (e.g., architecture, design, software, firmware). Perform long-term system characterization. Debug and help root-cause failures, providing feedback to improve features like power management quality, performance, and reliability through generations of designs, including in pre-silicon prototyping platforms as well as through post-silicon bringup and production. Design, develop, operate, and maintain software based validation tests. 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 silicon design or with semiconductors (e.g., digital design, silicon validation, computer architecture). Experience scripting in a programming language like Python or equivalent. Preferred Qualifications: Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
