Job description
from Google careersIn 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 work on test design, bring-up, triage, and debug of the TPU High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) subsystem across emulation, test chip, and production silicon platforms. You will work closely with Silicon Validation, HBM technologists, and pre-silicon teams during the development phase of the ASIC life-cycle, ensuring proper features are in place for post-silicon validation and debug. Once silicon is in the lab, you will collect and help interpret data alongside system software and software test infrastructure developers to ensure the HBM subsystem has met the threshold for production release.
