About the job

Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration. As a Senior Silicon Manufacturing lead, you will build high quality manufacturing data infrastructure that will be used to ramp silicon products into High Volume Manufacturing (HVM). This entails an in-depth understanding of data collected across the manufacturing flow from foundry through finished SOC’s into the warehouse. Understanding of data center telemetry and health data as pertaining to the SOC’s is also needed in order to build a comprehensive data decision system that will enable the engineering, operations and supply chain teams to proactively identify problems and corrective actions scenarios. The system will also enable real time data view, reporting and indicators to guide the execution teams.
In this role, you will need to integrate data across multiple foundry’s and OSAT’s cover FAB metrology, assembly mereology, CP/FT/SLT performance metrics (e.g., yield/test time), equipment utilization and cycle time tracking performance to target, and the system is expected to scale to incorporate AI/ML model applications to drive cycle time, cost and quality improvements. You will be part of the team selecting and managing the suppliers who provide us foundry, wafer probe, assembly and final test capabilities to manufacture Google cloud SOC’s. You will be required to create the end-to-end silicon manufacturing infrastructure solutions, where the focus is on the manufacturing of complex HPC compute and AI SOC’s.
