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.

As Google competes in the post Moore's Law era, the semiconductor platforms we create for our own work loads are critical to our success. In this role, you will be a key part of the engineering team enabling the AI superpowers of GDM and SWE superpowers of Google to positively affect Google semiconductors for meaningful improvements. You will use measurable results to show Google chip teams how they can best take advantage of HighTide’s performance and scaling benefits. In addition, you will deliver Google a durable competitive advantage for all of our compute workloads, both AI and traditional. Lastly, you will teach and mentor other engineers on the means and methods of EDA compiler optimization.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.

Responsibilities

• Identify and close critical gaps in Google’s EDA toolchain, with a particular focus on synthesis or place and route optimization.
• Propose comprehensive solutions to these problems, and see them through multi-quarter implementation and adoption.
  
• Work with external upstream open source software contributors to get your improvements accepted upstream.
  
• Work closely with GDM, Cloud, gChips, YouTube, and Waymo engineers to identify new opportunities for Google EDA to leverage our in-house EDA tools to improve Google hardware.
