  • 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.

    You will join a team working on SoC-level RTL design for data center accelerators. In this role you will own top-level RTL and integration of ASIC designs. In this role, you will work cross-functionally and will require interactions with numerous ASIC development teams. You will own deliverables to the cross-functional teams (e.g., Physical Design, Verification, Validation, etc.) at various project milestones. You will also be directly involved in defining and creating methodologies that enable an efficient design environment for ASIC engineers.

    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.
