About the job
As the Director of Analog Mixed-Signal Silicon you will lead the strategy and execution of cutting-edge mixed-signal IP development for Google's consumer hardware products. The Google Silicon team develops custom silicon solutions that provide differentiated user experiences, and this role will define the multi-generational AMS strategy to establish a persistent competitive advantage for platforms like Tensor and Pixel.
You will execute an optimization roadmap for the next three generations of the Tensor SoCs-a mandate made vital by the extreme power and performance demands of GenAI and Gemini applications. Beyond immediate execution, a core strategic function is to define the future of the PHY IP, planning whether to transition to in-house design or secure a solution through a new 3rd Party Optimization (3PO) partnership.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
Lead the critical "make vs. buy" decision for the future of DDR PHY IP and define the multi-year AMS roadmap for SoCs.
Own the overall Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) envelope for the entire memory subsystem, dictating trade-offs and ensuring DDR access meets the extreme, high-stakes requirements of on-device GenAI models.
Direct the integrated AMS and PMIC teams, ensuring high-quality execution of the immediate optimization roadmap.
Build the talent and organizational structure required for the long-term strategic vision, including building and scaling strategic teams or capabilities.
Act as the technical and strategic liaison to executive leadership, driving organizational alignment and securing resource commitments across high-leverage internal stakeholders (CPU, TPU, system architecture, and product teams).
