Silicon Validation Engineer, Google Cloud

Google Google · Big Tech · Haifa, Israel +1

This role focuses on validating custom silicon solutions for Google's direct-to-consumer products and Google Cloud, specifically within the ML, Systems, & Cloud AI (MSCA) organization. The engineer will define, develop, and execute post-silicon validation content, debug issues across cross-functional teams, and drive silicon from chip to product. The role requires significant experience in silicon validation, firmware development, and embedded software, with a focus on ensuring quality functional coverage for Google designs.

What you'd actually do

  1. Define, develop and execute post-silicon validation content on both pre-silicon setups and real silicon platforms in the lab.
  2. Drive silicon from being a chip towards becoming a product.
  3. Debug and investigate issues along cross-functional teams such as Firmware (FW), Software (SW), Design, Design Verification (DV), Architecture and multiple production teams.
  4. Provide a quality functional coverage for Google designs.
