About the job

Our computational challenges are so big, complex and unique we can’t just purchase off-the-shelf hardware, we’ve got to make it ourselves. Your team designs and builds the hardware, software and networking technologies that power all of Google’s services. As a Hardware Engineer, you design and build the systems that are the heart of the world’s largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. You develop from the lowest levels of circuit design to large system design and see those systems all the way through to high volume manufacturing. Your work has the potential to shape the machinery that goes into our cutting-edge data centers affecting millions of Google users.

In this role, you will contribute your networking software architecture expertise in architecture connectivity features in a large and complex heterogeneous ASIC. You will work with multiple teams to help define state-of-the-art ASIC connectivity features.

Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people’s lives better through technology.

Responsibilities

Leverage expertise in platform architecture of large, heterogenous ASICs to help drive and design connectivity features.

Work with cross-functional teams to ensure architectural features are successfully deployed in the product.

Bridge the gap between hardware and software architecture definition by defining software interfaces for connectivity hardware IPs, defining strategy for partitioning use cases and mapping those parts to various connectivity hardware IPs and defining, tracking and optimizing for relevant system-level key performance indicators.
