Silicon Engineer at Google

Soumil Hooda

My current work focuses on cache-coherent interconnect design, spanning microarchitecture definition, RTL implementation, clock-tree analysis, and power estimation.

I graduated from BITS Pilani in 2025 with a BE in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and an MSc in Physics. As an undergraduate, I worked on atmospheric water-vapor retrieval from radio-occultation measurements at the Space Applications Centre (ISRO), finger-flexion estimation from neural recordings at CSIR-CEERI, and peri-urban mapping and arrhythmia classification at BITS Pilani. This research was advised by Prof. Manik Gupta, Prof. Rajesh Tripathy, and Dr. Satya Prakash Ojha.

I previously interned at Google and Texas Instruments. At Google, I developed infrastructure to generate and integrate subsystem-level RTL from architectural configurations, including power intent, clock/reset-domain crossings, linting, and register collateral. At Texas Instruments, I developed reusable, assertion-based formal verification IP for a real-time microcontroller platform and explored graph representations of finite-state machines for GNN-based protocol analysis.
