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 DFT Test Engineer, you will work closely with various teams within the design process with other engineers to deliver the confidence needed in the design of the chip. You will collaborate with the Functional Verification team to develop Design for Testing (DFT) environments, drive DFT strategy, and ensure our DFT solutions are properly verified for all usage scenarios.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $163000 - $237000 (USD) 15% bonus target equity benefits
