About the job:
As an ECAD Librarian, you will manage the Digital Network Architecture (DNA) of our hardware, building and organizing the libraries that allow our engineers to design the world’s most powerful computing infrastructure. From large Ball Grid Array (BGA) packages to interconnects, you will ensure that every component is built for precision, manufacturability, and global scale.
In this role, you will bridge the gap between Electrical Engineering, Printed Circuit Board Layout, and Manufacturing. You will architect a library system that supports seamless routing and hardware lifecycles. Your work ensures that Google’s custom-built servers move from concept to high-volume manufacturing, directly impacting the infrastructure that powers services for millions of users.
hardware and software technologies that power all of Google's services. Our computational challenges are complex and unique, enabled by cutting-edge custom hardware designed and made in-house. As a hardware engineer, you will design and build the systems that are the heart of the world's largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. You will see those systems from concept all the way through to high-volume manufacturing. Your work has the potential to shape the machinery that goes into our cutting-edge data centers, affecting millions of Google users.
Responsibilities:
- Manage the library, build footprints and symbols, organize Part Table File (PTF) tables, and continually improve the library setup and structure.
- Support Electrical Engineering and PCB layout based on the view point of the library such as pin/part arrangement for schematic drawing, reasonable routing, and package keepout.
- Work with manufacturing and component engineers to create common footprints for non-identical parts.
