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.\nIn this role, you will be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing autonomous solutions that define the next-generation of intelligent infrastructure and hardware for the edge. You will contribute to the innovation behind products that transform industries, leveraging your expertise in system-level integration and localized processing to deploy AI models across sophisticated hardware platforms, ensuring intelligence is embedded exactly where the action happens.\nAs an SoC Architect at Google, you will lead the definition of a groundbreaking first-generation product family. You will bridge the gap between high-level system requirements and detailed chip implementation across domains, collaborating with cross-functional partners to design scalable, energy-efficient, and feature-rich IO SoCs.\nThe 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. \nResponsibilities\nLead SoC architecture across multiple teams and disciplines, including IP architects, design, verification, validation, firmware, security, power management, software and IP development.\nArchitect and analyze different aspects, including multi chiplets connectivity, chip partitioning, package/board constraints, chip fabric and how SoC subsystems must support them.\nDefine top-level SoC structures, detailing interconnects, clock distribution, and power domains to ensure seamless system integration and operational efficiency.\nManage the SoC architecture specification and lead it throughout the entire product life-cycle, concept, modeling, implementation, and silicon bring-up. \nDrive architectural analyses exploring different architectural/implementation alternatives, analyze and recommend the optimal solution balancing between performance, features, power, schedule, and cost.\nQualifications\nMinimum qualifications:\nBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.\n10 years of experience leading the architectural definition of high-performance SoCs from concept through production.\nExperience working and implementing multi-chiplet systems within silicon process technology.\nExperience with SoC architecture, including interconnects, memory hierarchies, and system-level reasoning.\nExperience writing architecture specifications.\nPreferred qualifications:\nMaster’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.\nExperience with functional safety (FuSa) and hardware safety mechanisms designed to meet targets (e.g., ASIL).\nExperience in defining security architectures, debug infrastructure, and secure boot sequences.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3751,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":10,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Incident
