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.

As a Hardware Board Design Engineer, you will own the electrical design of complex High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. You will drive the development of next-generation AI accelerator boards, ensuring they meet signal integrity, power delivery, and thermal requirements. You will work cross-functionally with Silicon (ASIC), Signal Integrity, Power, Mechanical, and Manufacturing teams to bring products from concept to mass production.

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 schematic capture and component selection for high-density, multi-layer Printed Circuit Boards (20+ layers) incorporating high-power ASICs (TPUs/CPUs), FPGAs, and high-speed memory (High Bandwidth Memory/DDR5).
Design and validate high-speed interfaces including Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) Gen 6.0/7.0, 400G/800G/1.6T ethernet (PAM4). Collaborate with Signal Integrity (SI) engineers to define routing constraints and stack-up.
Design multi-phase power regulators (VRMs) capable of delivering 1000A currents with fast transient response for AI processors.
Work closely with PCB layout designers to guide placement and routing of critical signals and power planes.
Lead the lab bring-up of first-silicon/first-board. Debug complex hardware issues using oscilloscopes, Time-Domain Reflectometers (TDRs), and logic analyzers. Root-cause failures to component, assembly, or design issues
