Our end users are Googlers, Cloud customers and the billions of people who use Google services around the world.

We prioritize security, efficiency, and reliability across everything we do - from developing our latest TPUs to running a global network, while driving towards shaping the future of hyperscale computing. Our global impact spans software and hardware, including Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, the leading AI platform for bringing Gemini models to enterprise customers.

Responsibilities

  • Architect, design, and build firmware running on embedded microcontrollers with limited memory footprints on the accelerator Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) such as power-on and reset of the ASICs, initializing low level hardware, power management, and security.
  • Contribute to all layers of the data center software stack to deploy accelerator ASICs to production.
  • Architect, design and develop tools to update and debug ASIC firmware. Enable chip bring-up and hardware debugging.
  • Build functional or cycle level simulators that bit accurately and model the custom accelerator ASICs. Build tools and infrastructure to help ASIC design verification, tapeout, and bring-up. Develop embedded CPU simulators as part of the full system simulator.
  • Co-design hardware/software interface, work with the Hardware Design and Development teams.
