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 an SoC Test Infrastructure Engineer, you will drive the post-silicon New Product Introduction (NPI) and high-volume manufacturing test strategies for Google's next-generation TPU and high-performance computing (HPC) products. In this role, you will develop and validate advanced Automated Test Equipment (ATE) programs, create pre-silicon test solutions, and build automated tools to optimize the entire silicon testing life-cycle.

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. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.

We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with Architecture, Design, and Verification teams to develop new product bring-up, validation, characterization, and qualification strategies, as well as manufacturing test solutions for new high performance computing (HPC) products in advanced process technologies.
• Verify test solutions on pre-silicon models (simulation or emulation) and develop ATE test modules, DC tests, binning, production, and characterization flows.
• Develop and validate test programs on automated test equipment (ATE) platforms for new product integration (NPI) in preparation for high-volume manufacturing (HVM), working with ATE vendors and internal cross-functional teams.
• Build tools, flows, and methodologies to continuously improve and automate the testing life-cycle.
• Partner with upstream and downstream teams to enable automated solutions to test problems.
