About the job

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 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 DFT Engineer, you will be responsible for defining, implementing and deploying advanced design-for-test (DFT) methodologies including Scan, MBIST, JTAG and iJTAG, for highly complex digital or mixed-signal chips or IPs. You will define DFT architecture, and create DFT flows for complex next generation SoCs in partnership with the Design and Physical Design teams. You will also be responsible for design verification of test logic, test pattern generation and debugging and test coverage issues.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity.
