Job Description

Lead the architecture and development of next-generation GPU for Google's Tensor System on a Chip (SoC). Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Product Management, SoC architecture, IP design, verification, Algorithm and Software Development) to optimize performance and power. Define hardware IP architecture specifications meeting competitive goals (power, performance, area, image quality). Perform detailed data analysis and tradeoff evaluations to enhance GPU architecture. Contribute to product roadmap definition for GPU hardware IP across various Google devices. Propose architectural features to improve GPU integration with Tensor SoC and optimize the software stack for GPU workloads. This role requires leading the design from architecture specifications to tape-out and product launch, ensuring competitive user experiences on Google hardware.

Must have:

10+ years GPU, graphic architecture, and silicon design experience
Bachelor's degree in relevant field
Lead GPU architecture development for next-gen SoC
Collaborate with cross-functional teams
Define hardware IP architecture specifications

Good to have:

Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science
Experience with low-power GPU hardware IP for SoCs
Experience in microarchitecture, power, and performance optimization
Experience with Machine Learning (ML), GPU Software, Android APIs, and Devices

Minimum qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
10 years of experience in Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), graphic architecture and silicon design.

Preferred qualifications:

Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
Experience collaborating cross-functionally with Product Management, SoC architecture, IP design and verification, Algorithm and Software Development teams.
Experience architecting and designing low-power GPU hardware Internet Protocol (IP) for System on a Chips (SoC).
Experience in micro architecture, power and performance optimization.
Experience with Machine Learning (ML), GPU Software, Android first-party (1P)/third-party (3P) Application Programming Interface (API) and Devices.
