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.

We are the team that builds Google Tensor, Google's custom System-on-Chip (SoC) that powers the latest Pixel phones. Tensor makes transformative user experiences possible with the help of cutting-edge Machine Learning (ML) running on Tensor TPU. Our team's work enables Gemini Nano, our efficient AI model for on-device tasks to run on Pixel phones. Our goal is to productize the latest ML innovations and research by delivering computing hardware and software.

In this role, you will work as part of the EdgeTPU compiler team. You will design and implement tools to reason about the correctness and performance of ML programs at multiple levels of abstraction. Additionally, you will analyze and improve the compiler quality and performance on optimization decisions, correctness and compilation time.

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people's lives better through technology.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $161,000-$239,000 bonus equity benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target salaries for the position across all US locations. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement tools for bug detection, isolation, reproducer generation, and correction.
• Build tools that use and complement the compiler infrastructure to efficiently map ML models to the hardware.
• Develop parallelization and scheduling algorithms to optimize compute and data movement costs to execute ML workloads on the EdgeTPU.
• Design and implement new ways to gather useful performance and debugging data and relate them to the ML graph.
• Collaborate with ML model developers, researchers, and EdgeTPU hardware/software teams to accelerate the transition from research ideas to user experiences running on the EdgeTPU.
