About the job
As a Chip Package CAD Engineer, your role is to develop design flow and automation for package substrate designs of advanced (2.5D/3.5D) packaging technologies and signal/power integrity for ML chips. This involves collaborating with SI/PI, package technologist, physical design and DFM to create complex, high-performance IC package designs.
You will manage the design and sign off flow and methodology set up for the ML IC packages. Additionally, you will be instrumental in identifying and incorporating advanced chip packaging technologies into the Google chip product design pipeline. This contributes to successful chip deployment in data centers, ensuring the best optimized PPA (Power, Performance, Area) designs and enhancing system performance relative to TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) & power.
Our team is responsible for designing and building the custom hardware, software, and networking technologies that power all of Google's services, as standard off-the-shelf hardware cannot meet our immense and unique computational needs. As a Hardware Engineer for ASIC, you are central to developing and building the systems that form the core of the world's largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. Your work spans from the fundamental levels of circuit design up to large-scale system design, seeing systems through to high-volume manufacturing, which directly influences the machinery in our cutting-edge data centers and impacts millions of Google users.
The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible.
