Software Engineer lll, TPU, Platforms Infrastructure Engineering

• Design and build firmware running on embedded micro-controllers with limited memory footprints on the accelerator Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC).

• Co-design hardware/software interface, and work with the hardware design and development teams.

• Design and develop tools to update and debug ASIC firmware, and enable chip bring-up and hardware debugging.

• Build functional or cycle-level simulators that bit-accurately model the custom accelerator ASICs, build tools and infrastructure to help ASIC design verification, tapeout, and bring-up, and develop embedded Central Processing Unit (CPU) simulators as part of the full system simulator.

• Architect and design debuggability mechanisms and telemetry collection systems to monitor Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), enhancing customer satisfaction and enabling rapid response, diagnosis, and mitigation of production failures.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.

• 2 years of experience with software development in C/C++, or 1 year of experience with an advanced degree.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science or related technical fields.

• 2 years of experience with data structures and algorithms.

• Experience with embedded software development in C/C++.

• Experience with hardware/software co-design at the chip-level.

• Experience with architecting scalable software, multi-threaded designs, and implementation.

• Experience with machine learning (ML), security, and confidential computing, as well as high bandwidth memory (HBM), peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe), and advanced RISC machines (ARM).
