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 a Physical Design Engineer in 3D Technology, you will collaborate with technology, physical design, circuit design, and hardware architecture teams to overcome the slowing of Moore's Law while delivering ASIC's and SoC's. You will help develop new 3D technology physical design methodologies to drive best product Power Performance Area (PPA) by optimizing across technology, digital block implementation, clock distribution, floorplanning, circuits, memories, and third-party IPs. You will drive new physical design flows that co-optimize across the entire design methodology space, including 3D and see these through from inception to maturity and tapeout. This will include high impact physical design innovations with through-silicon vias (TSVs) requiring methodology and verification flow development and ratification. As part of this work, you will participate in the development of exceptional technology in high performance computing and ensure product success.
The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what's possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity.
