About the position

Be part of a diverse team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration. Our team architects the chips at the heart of Google's data center Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). Developing TPUs is a complex task that requires understanding of workloads, software stack, and hardware, and collaboration with partner teams. As the Hardware Architecture Modeling Engineer, you will work with hardware and software architects to model, analyze, and define next-generation TPUs. 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.
