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.
Google’s data centers are the most advanced in the world. 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 and High Volume Manufacturing at wafer fabs and OSAT’s. 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 lead the team that drives System Level Test (SLT) manufacturing test development and deployment. You will own all aspects of 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.
You should have understanding of IC flows, wafer processing, testing, qualification and failure analysis is expected.
