X In most instances, this position requires in-person interviews as part of the hiring process.

Minimum qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 4 years of experience with silicon or semiconductors (e.g., digital design, silicon validation, computer architecture, product engineering).
  • Experience scripting in one or more programming languages (e.g., Python).

Preferred qualifications:
  • Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
  • Experience in product engineering: managing and optimizing test content, debugging issues, performing RMA/FA, and conducting root cause analysis.
  • Experience collaborating with silicon vendors, contract manufacturers, and supply chain partners to improve test quality, reliability, and yield.
  • Experience with large digital SoCs, focusing on functional domain engineering, alongside utilizing complex software stacks to perform functional testing, investigations, and log/data analysis.
  • Experience with high-speed interfaces, ASIC interfaces, memory systems (HBM), power system features, or high-power ASICs.


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.
In this role, you will support integration and testing on hardware emulation platforms. During post-silicon, you will lead validation, bringup, and system qualification across power features, interfaces, HBM memory, compute functionality, and overall performance. Finally, you will provide ongoing engineering support during chip manufacturing, deployment, and field operations-monitoring quality and reliability while optimizing test efficiency, RMA/FA root-cause analysis, and process workflows.

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

US: $138000 - $197000 (USD) 15% bonus target equity benefits
