Senior Silicon Cad Tool Developer

Google Google · Big Tech · Sunnyvale, CA +1

This role focuses on developing and deploying AI/ML models within Electronic Design Automation (EDA) CAD tool flows for AI/ML hardware acceleration, specifically for Google's TPUs. The engineer will architect, develop, and execute these flows, leveraging AI to enhance predictive modeling, automate routing, and optimize chip design processes. The role involves both frontend and backend software system development, partnering with chip design teams to improve PPA and TAT, and evaluating new EDA tools.

What you'd actually do

  1. Architect, develop, and execute comprehensive EDA CAD tool flows spanning the entire chip design spectrum.
  2. Research, develop, and deploy AI/Machine Learning models within our CAD flows to enhance predictive modeling, automate routing, and provide intelligent design insights.
  3. Design and implement both the frontend and backend of novel software systems to streamline complex engineering workflows and provide an exceptional user experience.
  4. Partner closely with chip design teams to implement methodologies that directly optimize PPA (Power, Performance, and Area) and TAT (Turn Around Time) for design cycles.
  5. Lead technical evaluations of emerging EDA CAD tools and provide data-driven recommendations for adoption.
