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.

As a Signal and Power Integrity Engineer, you’ll be involved in the early stages of project planning and development (e.g., component selection, feasibility study, etc.). You will define Printed Circuit Board (PCB) stack-up and explore solution space through pre-layout simulation to set routing strategy for both signal integrity and power integrity. You’ll define Power Delivery Network (PDN) requirements, set constraints for PCB layout, review the layout, and be involved in lab validation and correlation with simulation. In this role, you will work with a team of Electrical, Mechanical, and Layout Engineers to provide design guidance for high speed PCB, ensuring Signal and Power Integrity and Electromagnetic Interference for products.

Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices and Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user’s interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices and Services team is making people’s lives better through technology.

Responsibilities

Participate in all stages of consumer product development. Own Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) of product and its sub-component development.

Provide detailed SI and PI rules as system level design guidelines for critical power rails and interfaces. Drive solutions of SIPI issues with Design Engineers, PCB designers, and cross-functional owners.

Work with Engineering/Qualification teams on system bring up and design validation.

Perform lab design validation, correlation.
