Waymo's Compute Team is hiring a staff SoC design engineer to define the architecture and microarchitecture of the next-generation autonomous-vehicle SoC. The work covers RTL implementation of IP and subsystems — cache and memory hierarchies, network-on-chip interconnects, custom accelerators — plus power, area and performance optimization, third-party IP selection, and mentoring. The posting asks for 10+ years of ASIC/SoC digital design experience, deep SystemVerilog expertise, and a record of multiple tapeouts. It is described as a hybrid role reporting to an Engineering Director, with base pay of $251,000–$310,000.
