HaifaFull-timePosted 2w ago
About the role
Role focused on shaping AI/ML hardware acceleration by driving the reliability and qualification of Google’s semiconductor products and TPU-related hardware.
Responsibilities
- Own technical specifications, architectural definitions, and physical power-on of custom qualification vehicles (HTOL load boards, ESD fixtures, Latch-Up rigs); drive external layout vendors to achieve seamless electrical correlation with ATE environments.
- Govern execution quality of applied stresses; define electrical, thermal, and telemetry parameters on test vehicles to ensure uniform, valid stress profiles without unintended overstress or setup artifacts.
- Lead the end-to-end engineering delivery life-cycle for qualification hardware; map and drive critical cross-functional dependencies across internal validation and product engineering teams to ensure on-time readiness.
- Serve as primary technical interface for external PCB layout houses, fabrication shops, and component suppliers; manage design reviews, track lead times, and enforce delivery schedules.
- Lead laboratory troubleshooting for qualification hardware anomalies; isolate setup/socket faults from true silicon failures and drive supplier corrective actions (CAPA) when board excursions occur.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 4 years of experience in hardware engineering, with a focus on authoring technical specifications, reviewing electrical layouts, and driving verification of semiconductor test or validation platforms.
- Experience working within specialized semiconductor reliability or test laboratories, including configuring component Burn-In ovens, high-power stress load boards, ESD simulators, and Latch-Up (LU) test setups.
