Senior Design Engineer, Google Cloud Networking

Google Google · Big Tech · Haifa, Israel +1

This role is for a Senior Design Engineer on the Google Cloud Networking team, focusing on developing custom silicon solutions for Google's direct-to-consumer products and AI/Infrastructure. The engineer will be involved in the full ASIC design cycle, from RTL development to synthesis, timing closure, and silicon bring-up, with a focus on networking ASICs.

What you'd actually do

  1. Define the block level design documents such as interface protocol, block diagram, transaction flow, pipeline, and more.
  2. Perform RTL development (e.g., coding and debug in Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL)), function/performance simulation debug, and Lint/CDC/FV/UPF checks.
  3. Participate in synthesis, timing/power, and FPGA/silicon bring-up.
  4. Participate in test plan and coverage analysis of the block and SOC-level verification.
  5. Communicate and work with multi-disciplined and multi-site teams.

Skills

Required

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 8 years of experience architecting networking ASICs from specification to production or equivalent experience.
  • Experience developing RTL for ASIC subsystems.
  • Experience in micro-architecture, design, verification, logic synthesis, and timing closure.

Nice to have

  • Experience working with design networking: Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) or packet processing and system design principles for low latency, high throughput, security, and reliability.
  • Experience architecting networking switches, end points, and hardware offloads.
  • Experience working with software teams optimizing the hardware/software interface.
  • Experience in a procedural programming language (e.g., C++, Python, Go).
  • Knowledge of TCP, IP, Ethernet, PCIE and DRAM.
  • Familiarity with Network on Chip (NoC) principles and protocols (AXI, ACE, and CHI).
