Senior Silicon Validation Engineer, Cloud Silicon

About the job:
Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.

Responsibilities:
Develop and execute tests in post-silicon validation and on hardware emulators and assist in bring-up processes from prototyping through post-silicon validation.
Drive debugging and investigation efforts to root-cause complex, cross-functional issues, including pre-silicon prototyping platforms as well as post-silicon bring-up and production.
Ensure validation provides necessary functional coverage for confident design.
Help operate and maintain our hardware emulation platform for pre-silicon integration and validation.

Minimum qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
5 years of experience with functional tests for silicon validation (e.g., C, C++ or Python) or developing embedded software.
Experience in silicon bring-up, functional validation, characterizing, and qualifying silicon.
Experience with board schematics, layout, and debug methodologies using lab equipment.

Preferred qualifications:
Experience in Scripting such as Python for automation development.
Experience in hardware emulation, including hardware/software integration (i.e., pre-silicon use of emulation and software-based test and diagnostics development).
Experience with power characterization, Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe), and Double Data Rate (DDR).
Knowledge of SoC architecture, including boot flows.
