ASIC Power Management Architect

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical experience.

• 5 years of experience in power management or power design/methodology.

• Experience with ASIC power analysis methodology.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture and performance or power analysis.

• Experience with power components, power modeling, and power management techniques (e.g., Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS)/AVS, etc.).

• Experience modeling and validation in Virtual prototyping and TLM environments.

• Experience with algorithmic development and prototyping software for power management.

• Knowledge of industry trends and disruptive technologies.

• Knowledge of the impact of software and architectural design decisions on power and thermal behavior of the system (e.g., thermal mitigation and scheduling, and cross-layer policy design).

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.

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

• Define ASIC power management architecture details for an ASIC that includes functions such as image compute, CPU/GPU, for maximum performance under power and thermal constraints.
• Perform algorithm development, modeling, and analysis of power management approaches.
• Model and prototype power management techniques applicable at different design levels.
• Produce detailed documentation for the proposed implementation of power management schemes. Produce detailed trade-off analysis for engineering reviews and product roadmap decisions.
