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.

With your technical expertise, you lead projects in multiple areas of expertise (i.e., engineering domains or systems) within a data center facility, including construction and equipment installation/troubleshooting/debugging with vendors.

The Google Pixel team focuses on designing and delivering the world’s most helpful mobile experience. The team works on shaping the future of Pixel devices and services through some of the most advanced designs, techniques, products, and experiences in consumer electronics. This includes bringing together the best of Google’s artificial intelligence, software, and hardware to build global smartphones and create transformative experiences for users across the world.

Responsibilities

Leverage fundamentals and industry experience to contribute to the memory subsystem (e.g., cache, low power Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), nonvolatile memory, etc.), performance/power characterization, and optimizations of Pixel devices use cases and features.

Work cross-functionally with other systems architects, Pixel Product Management, Pixel Software, and Technology teams to identify, analyze, characterize, and decide memory subsystem latency, throughput, size, and power to meet Pixel product feature performance requirements.

Provide key contributions to future memory subsystem architectures and use case performance/power models through data driven input from the current platforms.
