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.
Google’s data centers are the most advanced in the world. In this role, you will help to manufacture the SoC’s that power these data centers by developing and deploying comprehensive manufacturing test and data analytics solutions for high volume manufacturing at wafer fabs and outsourced semiconductor assembly and tests (OSAT’s). You will have an opportunity to create silicon in the most advanced technologies and follow it into the field to close the loop back to design and test for the next generation of chips. You will help to integrate SoC technologies into devices and drive manufacturing test flows to assure performance and screen devices.
You will drive yield improvement, cost optimization and work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the optimal test coverage in production to ensure high quality SoCs. You will need to have a strong understanding of IC flows, wafer processing, testing, qualification, diagnostics, and failure analysis. You will work with various groups to deploy screening methodologies and flows for data processing, analytics and diagnostics. You will drive the release of cost effective production test solutions into mass production to hit yield and quality goals.
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.
