About the job
Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's 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 the SoC Analog Integration Lead, you will play a critical role in driving the strategy, selection, architectural and physical integration, and silicon execution of high-speed analog and mixed-signal IPs— including PCIe, SerDes, DDR, HBM PHY etc.—into complex, high-performance SoCs.
In this role, you will engage with external and internal IP providers, SoC architects, package/board engineering teams, physical design, timing and floorplan teams and post-silicon validation teams. You will own the full life cycle of analog IP integration, ensuring that strict performance, power, thermal, area, floorplan, signal integrity, and system-level interface requirements are met from early architecture through volume production.
The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.
We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.
Responsibilities
- Lead the evaluation and selection of third-party analog/mixed-signal IPs (e.g., PCIe, SerDes, HBM PHY), establishing detailed technical SLAs, functional specifications, and delivery schedules.
- Serve as the primary technical interface to IP vendors, overseeing technical reviews, bug tracking, silicon errata evaluations, and waiver processes.
- Collaborate with floorplan and physical design teams to define integration requirements, ensuring alignment on placement, power delivery, clocking, and functional interfaces.
- Partner with packaging, PCB, and SI teams to optimize high-speed trace and power delivery, driving the die-package co-design process.
- Oversee AMS simulations and netlist checks, while leading post-silicon bring-up, lab characterization (BER, jitter), and validation to support the product ramp.
