SoC Chip Architect – Google Cloud Silicon

About the role

Google Cloud is seeking a senior SoC Chip Architect to lead the definition of high‑performance custom silicon and multi‑chiplet systems that power its AI infrastructure. You will bridge hyperscale data‑center workload requirements with silicon implementation, collaborating across hardware, firmware, and system‑software teams.

Key responsibilities

• Lead top‑level SoC architecture across IP, digital design, verification, physical design, validation, firmware, power management, security, and system software.
• Architect and analyze complex multi‑chiplet systems, including chip partitioning, die‑to‑die interconnects, advanced packaging constraints, and high‑performance on‑chip fabrics (NoC).
• Define SoC subsystems, memory hierarchies, clock distribution, reset schemes, and power domains for optimal performance and efficiency.
• Formulate operational flows, latency models, and system‑throughput analyses for data‑center workloads.
• Own the SoC architecture specification throughout concept, modeling, implementation, tape‑out, and post‑silicon bring‑up.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• 15+ years leading architectural definition of high‑performance SoCs, ASICs, or multi‑chiplet systems from concept to production.
• Experience with AI workload analysis, mapping across data‑center components, and optimizing hardware solutions.
• Proven track record of architecting multi‑chiplet systems using advanced packaging (2.5D/3D) and D2D interfaces such as UCIe, BoW, or high‑speed SerDes.

Required skills

• SoC architecture and ASIC design
• Multi‑chiplet system design
• Advanced packaging technologies (2.5D/3D)
• D2D interconnects (UCIe, BoW, high‑speed SerDes)
• Memory hierarchy and high‑performance NoC fabrics
• Hardware/firmware co‑design and system‑software integration
• AI accelerator optimization
• Latency and throughput modeling
• Power management and verification
• Physical design and validation
