About the job

As a Senior Software Engineer on the EdgeTPU Compiler team, you will play a key role in building next-generation compiler optimizations to power machine learning (ML) models on custom hardware. In this technical role, you will bridge the gap between ML models and hardware execution, translating framework-level code (JAX, PyTorch) into highly efficient instructions for the EdgeTPU.

You will own end-to-end features, from triaging complex performance and correctness issues to implementing robust, production-ready compiler optimizations. Additionally, you will collaborate cross-functionally with model owners to guide model design, work alongside stakeholders to shape the technical goal, and manage project deliverables to accelerate the deployment of ML experiences on edge devices.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $174,000-$252,000 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.

Responsibilities
  • Design and build ML compiler optimizations for EdgeTPU hardware, and extend leading authoring frameworks (such as JAX and PyTorch) to enable seamless, high-performance compilation.
  • Triage, root-cause, and resolve complex correctness and performance issues encountered when deploying state-of-the-art ML models on EdgeTPU.
  • Propose, design, and implement robust compiler features and fixes to systematically address performance bottlenecks and hardware limitations.
  • Partner closely with ML model owners to influence model architectures, ensuring they are designed for optimal, efficient execution on EdgeTPU systems.
  • Own project execution from end to end, collaborating with cross-functional partners and stakeholders, and managing priorities/deadlines/deliverables for key compiler feature areas.
