Job Description

This role involves working as a Physical Design Engineer in 3D Technology, focusing on developing custom silicon solutions for AI/ML hardware acceleration. You will collaborate with various teams to optimize digital designs and drive innovations in 3D technology physical design methodologies.

Requirements

PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Academic, educational, internship, or project experience with physical design and 3D integration technologies such as 3D-IC, 2.5D, chip stacking, vertical stacking, integrity, or Through-Silicon Vias (TSV).
Experience with running industry standard tools for chip design (e.g., from Synopsys, Cadence, or Siemens EDA).
Experience with advanced finfet and gate-all-around technology nodes, and enabling physical design flows in these nodes.
Experience in delivering optimized digital place-and-route blocks leading to test chip or product tapeouts.
Experience with programming/scripting (TCL, Python, or Perl).
Expertise with Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) design trade-offs and optimizations in physical design spaces.
Understanding of standard cells, SRAMs, power, noise, and IR analysis.
Excellent presentation and communication skills.

Responsibilities

Drive development of a leading edge 3D technology platform for custom, high performance ASIC’s and SoC’s, from design through manufacturing, packaging, and test.
Optimize digital blocks for performance, power, area, and reliability using physical design and circuit techniques.
Define optimal methodologies by investigating performance, power, and area across different technology nodes and implementation techniques.
Work with our physical design, technology, circuits, and architecture teams and IP partners in advanced Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) nodes.
Design and build custom circuits at the transistor and gate levels to support physical design and floorplan optimization.

Benefits

Employees at Google are often offered benefits like comprehensive health insurance, 401(k) matching, and flexible work arrangements, among other benefits.
