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.

As a Silicon AI/ML Architect, you will drive the Architecture of an AI/ML SoC and will support the engineering teams during the implementation and validation phases, pre-silicon, and post-silicon. You will work closely with internal system teams and external partners to develop a comprehensive understanding of the required SoC functions given its surrounding hardware, software, and the economic environments. You will also collaborate with the Engineering teams to drive the optimal balance between performance, features, power, schedule, and cost.

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

• Develop SoC architecture and Architecture specifications that meet current and future computing requirements for AI/ML roadmap.
• Evaluate different silicon solutions for executing Google’s data center AI accelerator roadmap: off-the-shelf components, vendor co-developments, custom designs, and chiplets.
• Collaborate closely with Systems and Software teams to create high performance hardware/software interfaces.
• Collaborate closely with design, verification, emulation, physical design, packaging, and silicon validation stakeholders to ensure that designs are complete, correct, and performant.
• Evaluate power, performance, area tradeoffs and drive improvements across generations.
