Staff Software Engineer, Application Specific Integrated Circuits Firmware

Job description

info_outline About the job Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day.

As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward. As a part of this team, you will develop C++ code that controls and monitors Google’s custom accelerators (ASICs), including TPUs (for machine learning) and VCUs (for video encode/decode).

You will also define the API that the rest of the software stack uses to build planet-scale deployments of the systems that use these ASICs. You will write code that directly handles interrupts, DMAs, and many other hardware-centric features. You will have a direct role in the initial debug and bring-up of new ASICs and among the first teams to use the new chips. Additionally, our team owns simulation models that allow for early software development pre-silicon, work closely with external vendors and many internal teams including chip design, system software, ML supercomputer, compiler, and system test.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 behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of 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.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
