Verification Engineer, Digital Signal Processing

Verification Engineer, Digital Signal Processing Google Sunnyvale, CA, USA Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. 8 years of experience in design verification (DV) with a focus on digital signal processing (DSP), communication systems, or arithmetic logic blocks. Experience with scripting in Python, Perl, or Makefile for automation. Preferred qualifications Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. Experience with Mixed-Signal verification techniques such as Real Number Modeling (RNM, SystemVerilog-Wreal) or SystemVerilog-AMS. Functional knowledge of adaptive equalization architectures (FFE/DFE) and timing recovery loops. Programming proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or C/C++ for testbench automation and reference modeling. About the job In this role, you’ll work to shape the future of AI/ML hardware acceleration. You will have an opportunity to drive cutting‑edge TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) technology that powers Google's most demanding AI/ML applications. You’ll be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's TPU. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide, and leverage your design and verification expertise to verify complex digital designs, with a specific focus on TPU architecture and its integration within AI/ML‑driven systems. In this role, you will define and execute the verification strategy for high‑speed Physical Layer (PHY) digital blocks. This role focuses on the functional and mathematical verification of complex DSP algorithms, digital‑analog boundaries, and signal processing logic. This position requires a strong technical foundation in communication theory, fixed‑point arithmetic, and mixed‑signal co‑simulation. Verify RTL implementations against high‑level architectural reference models (MATLAB, C++, or SystemC) using bit‑exact and fixed‑point verification methodologies. Verify the stability, tracking capability, and convergence of adaptive equalization loops (FFE, DFE) and timing recovery systems under varying channel impairments. Model and verify the functional interface between Digital DSP blocks and the Analog Front End (AFE) using Real Number Modeling (RNM) or SystemVerilog‑AMS. Design, implement, and maintain scalable UVM‑based simulation environments, SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA), and functional coverage metrics for digital signal processing blocks.
