Staff Design Engineer, Networking, Google Cloud

Who you are

You have a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. With 10 years of experience architecting networking ASICs from specification to production, you have a deep understanding of Register-Transfer Level (RTL) for ASIC subsystems. Your experience includes cross-functional engagement in micro-architecture, design, verification, logic synthesis, and timing closure. You have worked closely with software teams to optimize the hardware/software interface, ensuring seamless integration and performance.

Your expertise extends to design networking principles, including Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) and packet processing, with a focus on low latency, high throughput, security, and reliability. You are well-versed in Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), Internet Protocol (IP), Ethernet, Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIE), and Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), including Network on Chip (NoC) principles and protocols such as AXI, ACE, and CHI. You have a solid understanding of packet classification, processing, queuing, scheduling, switching, routing, traffic conditioning, and telemetry, which allows you to design robust networking solutions.
