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. Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
Lead deep-dive microarchitectural analysis on silicon to isolate and quantify pipeline stalls, memory hierarchy bottlenecks, and instruction-level inefficiencies to drive root-cause resolution.
Design, build, and execute advanced power and performance experiments on physical silicon to rigorously correlate pre-silicon projections with post-silicon reality across general-purpose and AI/ML compute workloads.
Develop and maintain early-stage power and performance models to evaluate complex architectural "what-if" scenarios, driving hardware-software co-optimization.
Partner closely with lead CPU architects and cross-functional teams to define dynamic, realistic power and performance goals for future Google silicon.
About Google
Google is a multinational technology company that specializes in Internet-related services and products. These include online advertising technologies, search engine, cloud computing, software, and hardware. Google was founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University. The company has grown tremendously since then and has become one of the most valuable companies in the world. Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.
