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 (https://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.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $172,000-$263,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.

Responsibilities

• Define power requirements for an SoC to optimize Power-Performance-Area (PPA) under peak current and thermal constraints.

• Define power KPIs and SoC/IP-level power targets, guide architecture, design and implementation to achieve power targets, and track power throughout the design cycle.

• Propose and drive power optimizations throughout the design process from concept to mass productization.

• Perform algorithm development, modeling and analysis of various low power approaches.

• Drive power-performance trade-off analysis for engineering reviews and product roadmap decisions. Model SoC and IP-level power and perform power rollups and perform post-silicon characterization and productization of power features.
