About the job

Be part of a diverse team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google’s direct-to-consumer products. You’ll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.

In this role, you will lead and inspire a team of RTL design engineers and AI/ML specialists, empowering them to develop and deploy innovative solutions that redefine how we design, verify, and optimize complex digital circuits. By leveraging cutting-edge research and collaborating across hardware and software teams, you will enable faster design cycles, higher quality designs, and hardware products that deliver exceptional experiences to the users.

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.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with Google DeepMind team on AI models (e.g., large language model (LLM), Gemini and other Machine Learning tools). Stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in AI/ML and RTL design methodologies.
• Identify and implement novel AI/ML based approaches to improve RTL design processes, including logic optimization, verification, and power analysis.
• Create custom AI/ML tools and integrate existing ones into Google’s Register-Transfer Level (RTL) design flow, enabling automation, faster design cycles, and improved design quality. Develop reusable and testable software components for use in a large existing code base, optimize existing components.
• Partner with hardware architects, verification engineers, and software teams to ensure seamless integration of AI/ML driven solutions into the overall product development cycle.
