About the role

Staff CAD Engineer responsible for shaping the CI2 design environment for silicon development, focusing on TPU architecture and integration within AI/ML systems, and delivering a scalable, tool-supported design flow across first-party and third-party tools.

Responsibilities

  • Leverage understanding of silicon development phases to flesh out architecture and lead development and deployment of the overall CI2 design environment as a coherent system composed of first-party and third-party tools, industry-standard and Google-specific APIs/data formats and scalable design flows.
  • Collaborate with technical leaders across CI2 sites to identify opportunities for evolutionary and revolutionary tooling and methodology changes to enable convergence on a shared design environment.
  • Engage with other Alphabet teams, DeepMind, and Core teams to ensure CI2 stays at the forefront of advanced silicon development.
  • Ensure developed technologies optimize for project iteration speed while achieving the planned power, performance, cost, and quality metrics.
  • Partner with other members of the tools and methodologies team to apply procedural and AI-first approaches to improve efficiency.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 10 years of experience in technical leadership focusing on one or more critical aspects of silicon design.
  • Experience in two or more silicon disciplines, including architecture modeling, logic design, functional verification, DFT, synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, physical verification, or firmware development.
  • Experience in developing, and deploying advanced tools and development flows that streamline the silicon life-cycle and improve engineering productivity.
  • Experience with developing tools in one or more programming languages such as Python or C/C++.
