About the jobBe part of a diverse 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.

As a SERDES/PCIe Silicon Characterization Engineer, you will take ownership on characterization of SERDES analog IPs provided by external vendors. Your job is to assure that the IP is meeting Google high standards. You will work closely with different multi-functional teams within Silicon organization, as well as external vendors.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

• Thorough Lab characterization/Validation of Serializer/Deserializer (SERDES) IPs, such as PCIeG6 PHYs.
• Writing Inhouse tools/scripts to characterize the IP.
• Bench test, debug, and characterization of analog/mixed signal on-chip circuitry (PLLs, Clocks, Data Converters and various I/O Interfaces).
• Development of benchtop electrical tests exercising on-chip circuitry through a combination of Joint Test Action Group (JTAG), Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART), Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), and other analog interfaces.
• Draft and Execute scripts to automate tests, extract results, and generate reports using database and investigative tools.
