+ PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical experience.

+ Experience in clock architecture and designing high speed clock distribution circuits.

+ Experience in Spice simulations, clock verification, and signoff.

Preferred qualifications:

+ Experience in ASIC physical design, physical design flows, and methodologies including synthesis, place and route, Static Timing Analysis (STA), formal verification, Change Data Capture (CDC), and power analysis.

+ Experience in IP integration (e.g., Phase Lock Loops (PLLs), memories, and Analog IP) and analog routing.

+ Experience in a scripting language (e.g., Python, Perl or TCL).

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 Circuits Design Engineer, Clock Design you will collaborate with the architecture, logic design DFT, physical design, and circuits/technology teams to overcome the slowing of Moore’s Law in advanced technology nodes and deliver cutting edge ASIC’s and SoC’s. You will drive block and full-chip level physical implementation of clock distribution and optimize related quality of results (i.e., power, timing, area). You will perform technical evaluations of EDA vendors, process nodes, and IPs and will provide recommendations. You will develop new and novel solutions and methodologies that co-optimize across the entire design space, then see these through from inception to maturity and tapeout.

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.
