Job description

As a HSIO Validation Engineer at Google, you will be part of a team that develops custom silicon solutions for Google's consumer products. Your role will focus on evaluating, testing, and qualifying High-Speed I/O interfaces that are integral to Google's System-on-Chips. You will collaborate with various teams to ensure design for test and manufacturing strategies are implemented effectively. This position offers the opportunity to influence next-generation hardware experiences through your expertise in electrical validation and compliance testing.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3 years of experience in high-speed I/O validation, specifically focusing on MIPI, MPHY or USB 3.2 electrical compliance and characterization.
  • Experience in Linux, Python, and Shell scripting.
  • Experience with lab equipment including high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, Bit Error Rate Testers (BERTs), JTAG T32 and Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs).
  • Experience in IP bring-up, validation, PCB schematics/Layout, and manufacturing support.

Responsibilities

  • Own bench-level design validation and electrical compliance for High-Speed Serial Interfaces, ensuring certification readiness across PVT operating conditions.
  • Characterize signal and power integrity using oscilloscopes, BERTs, and VNAs to perform advanced analysis including eye diagrams and Jitter decomposition.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to root-cause complex PHY-level electrical issues and protocol link-up failures.
  • Design Python-based automation to improve lab efficiency and partner with architecture teams to implement end-to-end manufacturing test solutions.
  • Influence next-generation product design via validation feedback and support production teams in developing ATE/SLT screens to reduce Defective Parts per Million (DPPM).

Benefits

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