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.

Join the team designing and developing the core components of Google's next-generation Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), the custom-built accelerators powering our AI and machine learning workloads in data centers.

As a member of the inter-chip interconnect team, you will play an important role in designing ASIC/SoC hardware for AI and networking accelerators that drive the computational workloads behind Google's most important products. Our hardware accelerators power nearly every product Google offers. Our primary focus is AI acceleration.

You will design RTL IP with a focus on chip-to-chip high-speed interconnect subsystems. You will have dynamic, multi-faceted responsibilities in areas such as project definition, RTL design, and implementation. You will participate in the design, architecture, documentation, and implementation of the next generation of data center accelerators.

You will have the opportunity to solve challenging technical problems at the forefront of AI hardware, working in a dynamic and collaborative environment.

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