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.

In this role, you will own the full verification life-cycle from verification planning and test execution to coverage closure, with an emphasis on meeting stringent AI/ML performance and accuracy goals, build constrained-random verification environments capable of exposing corner-case bugs and ensuring the reliability of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) workloads on Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) hardware. You will collaborate closely with design and verification engineers in active projects and perform verification.

The ML, Systems, and Cloud AI (MSCA) organization at Google designs, implements, and manages the hardware, software, machine learning, and systems infrastructure for all Google services (Search, YouTube, etc.) and Google Cloud. 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

• Plan the verification of digital design blocks and interact with design engineers to identify important verification scenarios.
• Identify and write all types of coverage measures for stimulus and corner-cases.
  
• Debug tests with design engineers to deliver functionally correct design blocks.
  
• Measure to identify verification holes and to show progress towards tape-out.
  
• Create a constrained-random verification environment using SystemVerilog and Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).
