Senior Digital Signal Processing Engineer, Google Cloud

Google Google · Big Tech · Tel Aviv, Israel +1

Senior Digital Signal Processing Engineer role focused on designing and implementing DSP algorithms for high-speed PHYs, turning communication theory into silicon logic. Responsibilities include fixed-point analysis and developing bit-exact models for verification. The role is within the ML, Systems, & Cloud AI (MSCA) organization, but the core function is DSP engineering for hardware, not direct AI model development.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design and implement DSP algorithms for high-speed PHYs, focusing on feed-forward equalization (FFE)/decision feedback equalization (DFE) and timing recovery loops.
  2. Perform fixed-point analysis to minimize bit-width (area/power) while maintaining the required signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
  3. Develop bit-exact C++/SystemC models to verify register-transfer level (RTL) against architectural intent.
