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.

You own the verification strategy for High-Speed Physical Layer (PHY). You aren't just looking for RTL bugs, you are looking for system-level failures. You will lead the effort to verify how the digital DSP interacts with the analog front-end.

The ML, Systems, & Cloud AI (MSCA) organization at Google designs, implements, and manages the hardware, software, machine learning, and systems infrastructure for all Google services (Search, YouTube, etc.) and Google Cloud. Our end users are Googlers, Cloud customers and the billions of people who use Google services around the world.

We prioritize security, efficiency, and reliability across everything we do - from developing our latest TPUs to running a global network, while driving towards shaping the future of hyperscale computing. Our global impact spans software and hardware, including Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, the leading AI platform for bringing Gemini models to enterprise customers.

Responsibilities

• Lead the verification strategy for high-speed PHYs (112G/224G), defining the test plan for top-level integration and mixed-signal boundaries.
• Architect and implement Mixed-Signal verification flows using Real Number Modeling (RNM) or SystemVerilog-AMS to verify the interaction between Analog Front Ends (AFE) and Digital DSP.
• Design specialized testbenches to verify the stability, convergence time, and tracking capabilities of adaptive algorithms (e.g., LMS, Zero-Forcing) across Process, Voltage, Temperature (PVT) corners.
• Develop tests that simulate real-world data center conditions, including link bring-up, auto-negotiation, and error-recovery protocols.
• Act as the primary verification interface for the Signal integrity and Power Integrity (SI/PI) and Analog teams, ensuring that physical channel impairments (loss, crosstalk, reflections) are accurately reflected in the Design Verification (DV) environment.
