About the job

Google engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. As a member of an extraordinarily creative, motivated and talented team, you develop new products that are used by millions of people. We need our engineers to be versatile and passionate to take on new problems as we continue to push technology forward. If you get excited about building new things and working across discipline lines, then our team might be your next career step.

As a Physical Design Engineer on the Product and Technology Enablement team, you will work on the physical implementation of ASICs using advanced technology nodes. You will perform technical evaluations of vendors, process nodes and IP, and will provide recommendations.

You will work with architecture, logic design, and design for testing (DFT) teams to understand and implement their requirements. You will drive block and sub-chip level physical implementation and closure. You will develop physical design methodologies, automation scripts, and write documentation.

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

Perform block level physical implementation steps including synthesis, floor-planning, place and route, power/clock distribution, congestion analysis, timing closure, EM/IR analysis, and formal verification

Work with logic designers to drive architectural feasibility studies, develop timing, power and area design targets, and explore RTL/design tradeoffs for physical design closure

Perform technical evaluations of vendors, process nodes, IP, and provide recommendations

Develop physical design methodologies and automation scripts for various implementation steps
