Job Description

Develop and execute tests in post-silicon validation and on HW emulators and assist in bring-up processes from prototyping through post-silicon validation.
Drive debugging and investigation efforts to root-cause cross-functional issues. This includes pre-silicon prototyping platforms as well as post-silicon bring up and production.
Ensure validation provides necessary functional coverage for confident design.
Help operate and maintain our hardware emulation platform for pre-silicon integration and validation.

Minimum qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
3 years of experience with functional tests for silicon validation (e.g., C, C++ or Python) or developing embedded software.
Experience in silicon bring up, functional validation, characterizing, and qualifying silicon.
Experience with board schematics, layout, and debug methodologies using lab equipment.

Preferred qualifications:

Experience in hardware/software integration (i.e. pre-silicon use of emulation and software-based test and diagnostics development).
Experience in scripting languages, such as Python for Automation development.
Experience with Power Characterization, PCIe, DDR.
Experience in RTL design, verification or emulation.
Knowledge of SoC architecture, including boot flows.

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 be responsible for post-silicon validation of the Cloud TPU projects. You will create test plans and test content for exercising the various subsystems in the AI/ML SoC, verify the content on pre-silicon platforms, execute the tests on post-silicon platforms, and triage and debug issues. You will work closely with engineers from architecture, design, design verification, and software/firmware teams. You will be validating the functional, power, performance, and electrical characteristics of the Cloud Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) silicon to help deliver quality designs for next generation data center accelerators.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
