Staff CAD Engineer, Silicon Design, Google Cloud

• Leverage the understanding of the phases of silicon development to flesh out the architecture and lead development and deployment of the overall CI2 design environment as a coherent system composed of first-party and third-party tools, industry-standard and Google-specific APIs/data formats and the scalable design flows.
• Collaborate with technical leaders across CI2 sites to identify opportunities for evolutionary and revolutionary tooling and methodology changes to enable convergence on a shared design environment.
• Engage with other Alphabet teams, DeepMind, and Core teams to ensure CI2 stays at the forefront of advanced silicon development.
• Ensure developed technologies optimize for project iteration speed while achieving the planned power, performance, cost, and quality metrics.
• Partner with other members of the tools and methodologies team to apply procedural and AI-first approaches to improve efficiency.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  
• 10 years of experience in technical leadership focusing on one or more critical aspects of silicon design.
• Experience in two or more silicon disciplines, including architecture modeling, logic design, functional verification, DFT, synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, physical verification, or firmware development.
• Experience in developing, and deploying advanced tools and development flows that streamline the silicon life-cycle and improve engineering productivity.
• Experience with developing tools in one or more programming languages such as Python or C/C++.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
  
• 15 years of relevant academic and industrial experience in advanced silicon development.
• Experience in identifying the need for a silicon methodology change, developing a solution, and successfully deploying it with impact to more than 25 developers.
• Experience in developing solutions that require bridging knowledge gaps amongst collaborators.
• Experience collaborating in internal company or external ecosystem standardization efforts.
• Knowledge of both front-end (architecture, logic design, verification) and back-end (logic synthesis, place-and-route, timing convergence, physical verification) silicon development processes.
