Software Engineer Manager Ii, Silicon Tools

Google Google · Big Tech · New Taipei, Banqiao District, New Taipei City, Taiwan

Manage a team of engineers developing debug and analytics tools for Google's custom silicon, focusing on hardware/software co-design and improving internal team productivity. The role involves leading design reviews, collaborating cross-functionally, and overseeing work with early hardware prototypes. A key aspect is directing the application of GenAI to pinpoint silicon issues and enhance team productivity.

What you'd actually do

  1. Manage a team around engineers in the development of software tools and scripts to diagnose, profile, and analyze system issues of Google custom silicon.
  2. Guide the team in presenting complex analytics through both Command-line Interface (CLI) and Graphical User Interface (GUI) interfaces, while correlating data from microcontrollers and power/performance measurements, and direct the application of GenAI to pinpoint root causes of silicon issues and boot team productivity.
  3. Lead design reviews with stakeholders and peers to decide on core technologies including software and hardware for Direct Test Architecture (DTA) related areas.
  4. Collaborate cross-functionally with Google teams to build exceptional APIs, tools, and user interfaces.
