• 8 years of technical experience in physical design disciplines involving power delivery and advanced process technology nodes.
• Experience with power grid integrity (electromigration and IR drop) from budgeting to analysis to verification and signoff.
• Experience with place and route tools, electromigration and IR drop tools, and design rule check tools.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
• Experience owning power grid design working with physical design or implementation and architecture owners.
• Experience establishing voltage budgets and drop mitigation for new projects working with a power delivery network team.
• Experience with through-silicon via planning and 3D stack designs.
• Familiarity with low power design techniques (e.g., unified power format, dynamic voltage frequency scaling).

About the job
In this role, you'll work to shape the future of AI/ML hardware acceleration. You will have an opportunity to drive cutting-edge TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) technology that powers Google's most demanding AI/ML applications. You'll be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's TPU. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide, and leverage your design and verification expertise to verify complex digital designs, with a specific focus on TPU architecture and its integration within AI/ML-driven systems.
In this role, you will collaborate with physical design, circuits, technology, and package leads to overcome the slowing of Moore's law in advanced technology nodes and deliver application-specific integrated circuits and systems on a chip. You will drive reliable products by optimizing, analyzing, customizing, and verifying power delivery networks to meet performance and integrity specifications. You will perform technical evaluations of process nodes, metal stacks, electronic design automation tools, and intellectual properties, and provide recommendations. You will develop power delivery and reliability solutions and methodologies that co-optimize across the entire design space, then see these through from inception to maturity and tapeout.
