ABOUT THE JOB:

In this role, you’ll work to shape the future of AI/ML hardware acceleration.

You will have an opportunity to drive cutting-edge TPU (Tensor Processing Unit)

technology that powers Google's most demanding AI/ML applications. You’ll be

part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that

power the future of Google's TPU. You'll contribute to the innovation behind

products loved by millions worldwide, and leverage your design and verification

expertise to verify complex digital designs, with a specific focus on TPU

architecture and its integration within AI/ML-driven systems.

In this role, you will

  • join a team working on SoC-level RTL design for data
  • center accelerators. You will work on top-level RTL, architecture, design and
  • implementation of global communication busses, and integration of complex ASIC
  • designs, as this is a highly cross-functional and central role that will require
  • interactions with numerous ASIC development teams. You will own deliverables to
  • the cross-functional teams (i.e. Physical Design, Verification, Validation,
  • Firmware...) at various project milestones. You will also be directly involved
  • in defining and creating methodologies that enable a highly efficient design
  • environment for all ASIC engineers.
  • As a Soc Design Engineer on the TPU team, you will be a key contributor to the
  • development of Google's AI accelerators. You will leverage your expertise in
  • digital logic design, computer architecture, and RTL coding to create innovative
  • and efficient hardware solutions. This position offers the opportunity to
  • address challenging technical problems at the forefront of AI hardware, working
  • in a dynamic and collaborative environment.
  • The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google
  • customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and
  • Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our
  • customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users
  • worldwide.
  • We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering
  • the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing
  • power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable
  • developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping
  • the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the
  • development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking,
  • Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.
  • Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills,
  • experience, and relevant education or training.
  • US: $138000 - $197000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
