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 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 an RTL Design Engineer on the TPU team, you will be a key contributor to the development of Google's AI accelerators. You will leverage your expertise in digital logic design, computer architecture, and RTL coding to create innovative and efficient hardware solutions. You will address challenging technical problems at the forefront of AI hardware, working in a dynamic and collaborative environment. You will join the team designing and developing the on-chip network of Google's next-generation Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), the custom-built accelerators powering our AI and machine learning workloads in data centers. You will be responsible for the microarchitecture, design, implementation, and integration of key digital logic blocks within the TPU. This role requires close collaboration with cross-functional teams, including Verification, Physical Design, Validation, and Firmware, to deliver hardware. You will own critical design deliverables, help with integration efforts, and contribute to the continuous improvement of our design methodologies and flows.

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