About the jobBe 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.

At Google, you will have the opportunity to find the perfect blend of software design practices and hardware development complexity. As a Test Generator Technical Leader, you will lead the technical development and methodology of advanced pseudo-random test generators and verification tools for Google's custom silicon (ASIC/SoC). You will work at the intersection of hardware and software, driving the strategy for stimuli generation, constraint-solving, and test automation to ensure the functional correctness of next-generation chips. Your strength is primarily in software coding with a good understanding of hardware, or if you are a hardware engineer with software proficiency, this balanced role will let you shine in both disciplines at the same time.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

• Lead the technical design, architecture, and implementation of high-performance test generators and verification frameworks (e.g., using C++, Python, SystemVerilog, or Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).

• Propose, design and implement software automation that directly addresses bottlenecks in today's ASIC and SoC Electronic Design Automation (EDA) flow, specifically targeting pseudo-random stimuli generation and constraint-solving methodology.

• Collaborate directly with the hardware team on projects to prototype and then deploy scalable test generator tools to make a positive impact on Google's chip hardware development process.

• Participate in, or lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders to decide amongst available technologies for advanced verification.

• Triage product or system issues and debug/track/resolve by analyzing the sources of issues and the impact on hardware, simulation performance, or service operations and quality.
