Full Job Description
info_outline X In most instances, this position requires in-person interviews as part of the hiring process.
Minimum qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
15 years of experience in network architecture, router platform engineering, NPU/ASIC forwarding design, or distributed routing systems.
Experience with core routing and traffic engineering protocols used in hyperscale networks, including BGP, IS-IS, MPLS, Segment Routing (SR-MPLS/SRv6), and modern SDN/management interfaces (e.g., OpenConfig, gNMI, gRIBI, or P4Runtime).
Preferred qualifications:
Experience integrating or debugging Broadcom, Silicon One, or comparable switch ASIC SDKs and SAI implementations.
Experience with high-speed SerDes, physical-layer interface architectures, and signal integrity considerations for board- and system-level routing designs.
Responsibilities
Partner with silicon vendors to optimize NPU forwarding pipelines, evaluating trade-offs in VoQ scheduling, table partitioning, FIB compression, and high-scale ECMP/WCMP.
Advance large-scale routing and SDN protocols, including BGP, IS-IS, Segment Routing (SRv6), MPLS, and programmatic APIs like gRIBI and P4Runtime.
Design high-throughput tunneling and line-rate encryption (MACsec, IPsec), managing match-action tables and telemetry while mitigating parser limits and expansion overhead.
Architect and deploy innovative network structures such as disaggregated AI WAN fabrics and commoditized NOS abstractions that remove vendor constraints.
Shape multi-year hardware, silicon, and system roadmaps for high-scale, air- and liquid-cooled platforms across Core and Edge networks.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
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.
