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 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.

As a part of the Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) team, you will build machine learning accelerator ASICs for Google and positively impact Google's products and billions of Google users across the globe.

In this role, you will be working in ASIC development, validation, software, tools, and methodologies. You will push the boundaries of chip-development and hardware/software integration and validation. You will lead cross-functional work streams focused on end-to-end hardware/software integration and validation to demonstrate system functionality and performance. You will help the Chip team meet development criteria and achieve production readiness in various validation environments and serve as a key bridge between design, verification, compiler, and performance teams, providing technical depth across the machine learning compute IP. You will write firmware, RTL, scripts, or test content to integrate and demonstrate subsystem and system functionality. You will validate this functionality on simulation, emulation, or post-silicon environments. You will support demonstrating and delivering that hardware and software systems are functional and performant. You will support the co-ordination, debug, and enablement of the platform.

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 team behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our 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.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $138,000-$198,000 bonus equity benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.
