About The Job

In this role, you will be leading a physical design team for all market segments. You will collaborate with Physical Design, CAD, Architects,and Logic Designers to drive architectural feasibility studies, develop timing, power and area design targets, and explore RTL/design tradeoffs for physical design closure. You’ll also work with Verification and Software teams to understand and implement the design requirements for clocking and power management.

Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people’s lives better through technology.

Responsibilities

• Lead a physical design team.
• Drive design implementation for CPUs.
• Manage block and hierarchical physical implementation and QoR (power, timing, area).
• Collaborate with register-transfer level (RTL) design, cross-site Physical Design, and CAD teams on microarchitectural critical items for timing and power convergence.
