Experience in an engineering lab (e.g., internships, cooperative education programs, or educational projects).
Experience with electrical engineering principles in the following areas: power regulation, high and low speed digital, hardware bring up and debug, schematic capture or PCB layout.
Experience with schematic capture, PCB layout tools or lab techniques such as soldering, oscilloscopes, data acquisition.

Nice To Haves

Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
Experience in electrical system design, prototype bring-up and debugging, functional verification and manufacturing support.
Knowledge of embedded systems, processor architecture, various communication protocols (especially USB C, SPI, I2C, UART, MIPI, DSI), python scripting, C++, and Cadence/Allegro.
Proficiency with both schematic capture and PCB layout tools.
Ability to execute own work with minimal supervision.
Excellent investigative and organizational skills, coupled with a well-focused attention to detail.

Responsibilities

Contribute to the electrical design and validation of Google's future hardware phone products, with a focus on digital interfaces (e.g., USB-C, SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe, and various MIPI standards), SoC, and memory.
Work closely with the larger cross-functional engineering team and suppliers (e.g., mechanical, RF, antenna, sensors, display, camera, and Layout) to transition new designs from the concept phase into our production cycle.
Bring designs to mass production by reviewing factory test requirements, assisting in software bring-up, and traveling on-site to the manufacturer to ensure the design is built and tested successfully.
Contribute to design tool enhancements or development, which may include, but is not limited to: Schematic or eCAD scripting tools, Lab validation tools (both hardware and software), data post-processing analysis tools, lab automation, fixture design, and realization.
