About The Job

Google engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. As a member of an extraordinarily creative, motivated and talented team, you develop new products that are used by millions of people. We need our engineers to be versatile and passionate to take on new problems as we continue to push technology forward. If you get excited about building new things and working across discipline lines, then our team might be your next career step.

In this role, you will be working on bare-metal performance verification in emulation and on silicon. Specifically, at the system level, we will validate memory performance, computational benchmarking, and key camera application performance correlation with simulation results.

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

• Work with Architects and the Performance Verification lead to develop emulation and post-silicon verification plans, to ensure the performance quality of the product.
• Become familiar with the programming model for one IP in a custom SoC.
• Execute the performance testing plans in emulation and on silicon with the developed benchmarks.
• Debug any discovered performance issue by facilitating hardware performance monitors, and analyze collected performance stats with architects.
• Develop and validate the functionality of benchmarks required by the performance verification plans.
