Required RTL Design Technical Lead, Networking, Cloud
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 part of our Server Chip Design team, you will use your ASIC design experience to be part of a team that creates the SoC VLSI design cycle from start to finish. You will collaborate closely with design and verification engineers in active projects, creating architecture definitions with RTL coding, and running block level simulations.
In this role, you will contribute in all phases of Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) designs from design specification to production. You will collaborate with members of architecture, software, verification, power, timing, synthesis, etc. to specify and deliver high quality SoC/RTL. You will solve technical problems with innovative micro-architecture and practical logic solutions, and evaluate design options with complexity, performance, power and area in mind.
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 Clouds Vertex AI, the leading AI platform for bringing Gemini models to enterprise customers.
Responsibilities
Define the block level design documents such as interface protocol, block diagram, transaction flow, pipeline, and more.
Perform RTL development (e.g., coding and debug in Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL), function/performance simulation debug, and Lint/CDC/FV/UPF checks.
Participate in synthesis, timing/power, and FPGA/silicon bring-up.
Participate in test plan and coverage analysis of the block and SOC-level verification.
Communicate and work with multi-disciplined and multi-site teams.
Requirements: Minimum qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
10 years of experience architecting networking ASICs from specification to production.
8 years of experience in technical leadership.
Experience in one of the following areas: arithmetic units, bus architectures, processor design, accelerators, or memory hierarchies.
Experience developing RTL for ASIC subsystems.
Preferred qualifications:
Experience working with design networking like: Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) or packet processing and system design principles for low latency, high throughput, security, and reliability.
Experience in TCP, IP, Ethernet, PCIE and DRAM including Network on Chip (NoC) principles and protocols (AXI, ACE, and CHI).
Experience architecting networking switches, end points, and hardware offloads.
Understanding of packet classification, processing, queuing, scheduling, switching, routing, traffic conditioning, and telemetry.
This position is open to all candidates.
