Role summary
Google is seeking a Multimedia Design Verification Lead for custom silicon solutions powering their direct-to-consumer products. This role involves leading the verification of complex ISP/Multimedia hardware, including performance and low-power aspects. Responsibilities include building and enhancing SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, defining coverage, and managing a global DV team. The ideal candidate has a Bachelor's degree in a related engineering field, 10 years of RTL verification experience with SystemVerilog for ASICs, and 4 years of people management experience. Experience with UVM, multimedia IPs, and assertion-based verification is also crucial.
Minimum qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 10 years of experience verifying digital logic at RTL using SystemVerilog for ASICs.
- 4 years of experience in people management, developing employees.
- Experience constructing reusable verification components and environments using UVM.
- Experience leading fully functional verification and performance validation cycle of subsystems such as: Camera ML/Multimedia - ISP, Display, TPU/GPU, processors, or at the SOC level.
Preferred qualifications:
- Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
- Experience with Camera ISP image processing or other Multimedia IPs such as Display or Video Codec or ML Accelerator verification.
- Experience with System Verilog Assertions (SVA), assertion-based verification, and formal verification.
- Experience working with software teams to define hardware/software interfacing including control/status registers, security, and error handling.
- Experience with Low Power Verification and power management flows.
