In this role, you’ll work to shape the future of AI/ML hardware acceleration. You will have an opportunity to drive cutting-edge TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) technology that powers Google's most demanding AI/ML applications. You’ll be part of a diverse team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's TPU. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide, and leverage your design and verification expertise to verify complex digital designs, with a specific focus on TPU architecture and its integration within AI/ML-driven systems.

As a Chip Leader, you will be responsible for overseeing the design and development of AI accelerators for our data center. You will be responsible for leading the chip design, from architecture requirements up to tape-out.

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.

• Own the chip development and execution. Accountable for Quality, Schedule and Performance, Power, Area (PPA), being the primary point of contact for day-to-day execution of chip development, planning and tracking.
• Coordinate the work of different disciplines, such as design, verification, and test, to ensure the chip meets all specifications and requirements. Collaborate with the leadership team of each chip project: Technical Program Manager, Design Verification lead, Physical Design lead, DFT lead, and architecture team, to make execution decisions and drive the development process.
• Resolve technical issues that arise during the chip development process. Ensure chip quality by implementing best practices and implementing quality control measures.
• Be responsible for project development with the highest quality, manage issues as they arise through design and implementation.
• Work with Software and Platform teams for hardware-software co-development.
