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 work on the test design, bring-up, triage, and debug of TPU subsystems. You will develop and execute test plans for functional and performance validation. You will work closely with design, implementation, design verification, software developers, and emulation prototyping in the development phase of the ASIC life-cycle, ensuring proper features are in place for post-silicon validation and debug. You'll collaborate with system software and software test infrastructure developers to ensure we have proper ASIC test coverage for an entire program.

In addition, you will help develop a common set of requirements, processes, and tests to ensure smooth and reliable performance of ASIC projects. You'll work throughout the entire project lifecycle, from early pre-silicon planning and test development, through end-of-life characterization and failure debug. You will develop and operate software-based tests for full investigation of ASIC operation.

You will work closely with both hardware and software teams to successfully validate designs, and to identify design issues. By working closely with designers, you will gain insight into the requirements for full ASIC test coverage. You will help to create and drive testing of our integrated systems with a focus on ASIC functional test verification and characterization.

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.
