Required Staff Architect, Digital Signal Processing, Cloud
Note: By applying to this position you will have an opportunity to share your preferred working location from the following: Tel Aviv, Israel; Haifa, Israel.
About the job
Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of our direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.
As a Staff Engineer on the Digital Signal Processing team, you will be a technical leader responsible for architecting and developing the core algorithms that power our next-generation data center interconnects. You will leverage your expertise in communication theory, forward error correction (FEC), and modulation to design novel, low-complexity solutions that push the boundaries of speed and reliability.
In this role, you will not only define the technical direction for critical projects but also mentor other engineers and collaborate across hardware and software teams to bring your goal to life in silicon.
We prioritize security, efficiency, and reliability across everything we do - from developing our latest TPUs to running a global network, while driving towards shaping the future of hyperscale computing. Our global impact spans software and hardware, including our Clouds Vertex AI, the leading AI platform for bringing Gemini models to enterprise customers.
Responsibilities
Lead the architecture, design, and implementation of digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms for high-speed optical communication systems. Drive the long-term technical roadmap for our signal processing and communication architectures by staying current with academic and industry trends.
Develop and analyze novel forward error correction (FEC) and modulation schemes to optimize for performance, power, and complexity tradeoffs.
Create comprehensive system-level models using tools like Matlab, Python, or C++ to simulate and validate algorithm performance.
Collaborate closely with logic design, verification, and software teams to ensure the successful implementation, integration, and bring-up of algorithms in custom silicon.
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to a team of DSP and communication systems engineers, fostering innovation and engineering excellence.
Requirements: Minimum qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field or equivalent practical experience.
10 years of experience in digital signal processing, communication theory, and algorithm development.
Experience in the design and implementation of algorithms for communication systems, including FEC or modulation techniques.
Preferred qualifications:
Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
Experience in the theory and practical implementation of modern FEC codes (e.g., LDPC, staircase, polar codes) and advanced modulation formats.
Experience in designing and modeling high-speed optical communication transceivers or similar high-bandwidth systems.
Experience leading the development of algorithms from initial concept through to successful silicon production.
Strong publication record in conferences or journals in the field of communications or signal processing.
Excellent programming skills in Matlab for algorithm development, simulation, and analysis.
This position is open to all candidates.
