Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
Responsibilities
Define, develop, and execute post-silicon validation content on both pre-silicon and real silicon platforms.
Drive silicon from being a chip towards becoming a product.
Debug and investigate issues along cross-functional teams such as Firmware, Software, Design, DV, – ARCH and multiple production teams.
Provide a quality functional coverage for Google designs.
Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, related field, or equivalent practical experience.
5 years of experience in silicon bring-up, functional validation, characterizing, and qualifying silicon.
Experience in C/C++, and with functional tests for silicon validation or developing firmware/embedded software.
Experience with SoC architecture, including boot processes and flows.
Experience with AArch64 architecture, ARMs exception model, and memory management concepts.
Preferred qualifications:
Experience with bare-metal applications and random instruction testing tools.
Experience with Linux kernel (building and configuring Linux kernels for embedded systems), and understanding of kernel internals: virtual memory, interrupt handling, device drivers, etc.
Experience with scripting (e.g. Python) for automation development.
Experience with hardware prototyping, including hardware/software integration (e.g., pre-silicon use of emulation, software-based test, and diagnostics development).
Experience with board schematics, layout, and debug methodologies using lab equipment.
