Senior CPU Design Verification Engineer, Emulation

About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• Act as the critical bridge between Emulation, Design Verification (DV), and Register-Transfer Level (RTL) teams to accelerate root-cause analysis.
• Correlate DV simulation failures with emulation results by analyzing SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches.
• Lead post-silicon debug by analyzing lab artifacts (scan dumps, software logs) to reproduce silicon bugs in emulation.
• Create tools and scripts to automate debug pipelines and bridge software workloads with hardware triggers.
• Utilize deep micro-architecture knowledge to rapidly isolate complex hardware issues.

Qualifications

• Minimum qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8 years of experience in both Design Verification (UVM/SystemVerilog) and Hardware Emulation.
• Experience reproducing post-silicon lab failures in emulation or simulation environments.
• Experience with industry-standard debug tools (e.g., Synopsys Verdi, Cadence SimVision), with experience using scripting languages (Python, TCL, Bash) to automate debug workflows.

• Preferred qualifications:
• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
• Understanding of CPU/SoC micro-architecture.
• Knowledge of standard high-speed protocols (e.g., PCIe, CXL, AMBA).
• Expertise parsing post-silicon diagnostic artifacts like scan dumps, OS logs, and JTAG traces.
• Excellent communication skills to translate complex technical issues across distinct engineering domains.
