About the job
In this role you will be working on ASIC development, validation, software, tools, and methodologies and have the ability to push the boundaries of chip-development and hardware/software integration and validation.
You will contribute to cross-functional work streams focused on Hardware/Software(HW/SW) integration and validation to demonstrate HW, SW, and system functionality and performance. Help the chip team accomplish silicon development criteria, meet chip and system schedules and achieve readiness for production in various silicon and system validation environments. Serve as a bridge between specification, design, and verification teams as well as compiler and performance teams with technical and breadth across the Machine Learning compute IP.
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.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $132,000-$189,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.
Responsibilities
- Review chip specs, plan HW/SW integration, coordinate delivery, and benchmark performance with system partners. Enable bringup of the Machine Leaning (ML) Compute features through compiler stack and ML workloads. Integrate and validate hardware and software designs in pre-silicon.
- Craft HW-SW co-simulation using RTL, emulation, FPGA, and architectural models for performance correlation.
- Drive debug discussions with Design/DV/SW/Arch teams and help root-cause functional failures and performance issues through the product development cycle. Improve validation coverage and sign-off processes for quality tapeout and production deployment.
- Plan and design validation tests and microbenchmarks to validate IP functionality and performance. Develop detailed test plans, based on design specifications coordinated with a cross-functional team (e.g. design, DV, firmware, compiler, architecture).
- Analyze ML workload performance pre/post-silicon, contributing to compiler and next-gen chip.
