From Google's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
As the Principal Silicon Product Engineer, you will serve as the chief technical authority for the Silicon Sourcing organization bridging hardware engineering design, global manufacturing ecosystems, and strategic sourcing across the entire silicon lifecycle. While our commercial leads focus on master service agreements, capacity reservations, and multi-billion-dollar contract structures, you will lead the technical arm of the organization.
You will drive deep architectural, manufacturing, and product engineering evaluations across both Custom Silicon (ASICs/COT: TPUs, gSOC, custom networking/accelerators) and Off-the-Shelf (OTS: GPUs, x86 CPUs, Memory, Storage, Strategic Silicon).
You will be deeply embedded across all phases of the silicon product lifecycle—from early silicon architecture and process node selection to NPI, DFM/DFT validation, wafer fab yield modeling, advanced packaging integration, and test engineering optimization.
You will be the authoritative technical partner to internal Platforms Engineering, Systems Architecture, and Cloud Supply Chain Operations teams, translating complex semiconductor physics and manufacturing realities into actionable sourcing leverage, risk mitigation, and performance breakthroughs.
You will engage directly with CTOs, VP-level engineering leaders, and fellow-level technical teams at Tier-1 foundries (TSMC, Intel), major merchant silicon vendors (AMD, Broadcom, Marvell), advanced OSATs, and sub-tier material suppliers. You will establish rigorous technical "should-cost" foundations, evaluate cutting-edge process nodes (sub-2nm), de-risk advanced heterogeneous packaging (CoWoS, 3D, HBM), and define yield/test parameters that optimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
US: $281000 - $391000 (USD) + 30% bonus target + equity + benefits
