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.
As a Design-for-Test (DFT) Engineer, you will define, implement, and deploy design-for-test methodologies, including Scan, Memory Built-In Self-Test (MBIST), Joint Test Action Group (JTAG), and iJTAG, for digital or mixed-signal chips or Intellectual Properties (IPs). You will define DFT architecture and create DFT flows for test chips and next-generation System on Chips (SoCs) in partnership with the Design and Physical Design teams. You will also verify test logic, generate test patterns, and debug test coverage issues.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $117,000-$166,000 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.
