Senior System Power Architect, Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality Workloads

### Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a specialized field (e.g., Optics, Sensors, Audio/DSP, etc.), or equivalent practical experience.
• 4 years of experience in SoC architecture, power/performance modeling, or pre-silicon verification.
• Experience with low-power design methodologies or power management techniques (e.g., power gating, DVFS, low-power states).
• Experience with memory subsystems, interconnects, or data paths to DDR.

### Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field (e.g., Optics, Sensors, Audio/DSP).
• Experience specifically analyzing or architecting mobile/wearable SoCs for AR, VR, or computer vision applications.
• Experience with architectural simulators or power estimation tools (e.g., Synopsys PrimePower, ANSYS PowerArtist, or proprietary modeling frameworks).
• Practical knowledge of low-power islands (LPI) or always-on subsystem architectures.
• Excellent communication skills to translate complex architectural trade-offs into clear product decisions for leadership.

About the job

-----------------

As a Silicon Power and Performance Architect for Pixel AR/VR, you will drive the engaged and architectural analysis that defines the future of Google's consumer hardware. AR and VR use cases demand immersive, zero-latency experiences under incredibly tight thermal and power constraints. You will analyze how spatial computing workloads impact the broader Pixel system-on-chip (SoC) power envelope, identifying bottlenecks, evaluating competitor architectures, and proposing silicon-level optimizations to ensure Pixel remains a market leader.The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's various computing software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our first party devices and services that combine the...
