　　Our computational challenges are so big, complex and unique we can't just purchase off-the-shelf hardware, we've got to make it ourselves. Your team designs and builds the hardware, software and networking technologies that power all of Google's services. As a Hardware Engineer, you design and build the systems that are the heart of the world's largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. You develop from the lowest levels of circuit design to large system design and see those systems all the way through to high volume manufacturing. Your work has the potential to shape the machinery that goes into our cutting-edge data centers affecting millions of Google users.

　　In this role, you will be part of Google’s Consumer Hardware Silicon team, developing high performance and low power hardware to enable Google’s continuous innovations in this space. You will be a key member of the cross-functional silicon validation team responsible for ensuring that we deliver high-quality silicon to all internal customers, thereby providing differentiating customer experiences.

　　As a Silicon Validation Engineer, you will plan, write, and execute tests to establish functional health of our systems on chips (SoCs), both under nominal and PVT conditions. You will lead the laboratory debug of failures with cross-functional teams (e.g., Silicon, Boards, Software, and Manufacturing). You will measure and optimize performance and power of silicon, enabling consistent and compelling use-cases in our end-products. You will provide regular updates about Silicon health to platform, software and volume manufacturing teams.

　　Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people's lives better through technology.
