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 help build the SoC’s that power these data centers by developing and deploying comprehensive test solutions with Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) for New Product Introduction (NPI) and hand-off for High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) at wafer fabs and OSATs. This is an opportunity to create silicon and follow it into the field to close the loop back to design and test for the next generations of chips. You will be a key member of the team that drives SLT manufacturing test development and deployment. You will support hardware development, test integration, test automation, and test deployment. You will work closely with cross functional teams to ensure the optimal test coverage in production to ensure high quality SoCs. A strong understanding of Integrated Circuits (IC) flows, wafer processing, testing, qualification and failure analysis is expected. You will work with various groups to develop tests, automation methodologies, test program release, etc. You will also work on releasing cost effective production test solutions into mass production.The ML, Systems, & Cloud AI (MSCA) organization at Google designs, implements, and manages the hardware, software, machine learning, and systems infrastructure for all Google services (Search, YouTube, etc.) and Google Cloud. Our end users are Googlers, Cloud customers and the billions of people who use Google services around the world.

We prioritize security, efficiency, and reliability across everything we do - from developing our latest TPUs to running a global network, while driving towards shaping the future of hyperscale computing. Our global impact spans software and hardware, including Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, the leading AI platform for bringing Gemini models to enterprise customers.
