Senior Software Engineer, ML Compilers, Edge TPU

Google•Mountain View, CA

About The Position

As a Senior Software Engineer on the EdgeTPU Compiler team, you will play a key role in building next-generation compiler optimizations to power machine learning (ML) models on custom hardware. In this technical role, you will bridge the gap between ML models and hardware execution, translating framework-level code (JAX, PyTorch) into highly efficient instructions for the EdgeTPU. You will own end-to-end features, from triaging complex performance and correctness issues to implementing robust, production-ready compiler optimizations. Additionally, you will collaborate cross-functionally with model owners to guide model design, work alongside stakeholders to shape the technical goal, and manage project deliverables to accelerate the deployment of ML experiences on edge devices. 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.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
5 years of experience with software development in one or more programming languages (e.g. C++).
3 years of experience testing, maintaining, or launching software products, and 1 year of experience with software design and architecture.
3 years of experience with compilers (optimization, parallelization, etc.).

Nice To Haves

Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science or related technical field.
Compiler development experience in the context of accelerator-based architectures.
Experience working with low-level software or strong interest in developing low-level software.
Experience working with hardware such as CPU, GPU, or TPU.
Experience in optimizing ML model inference on device.

Responsibilities

Design and build ML compiler optimizations for EdgeTPU hardware, and extend leading authoring frameworks (such as JAX and PyTorch) to enable seamless, high-performance compilation.
Triage, root-cause, and resolve complex correctness and performance issues encountered when deploying state-of-the-art ML models on EdgeTPU.
Propose, design, and implement robust compiler features and fixes to systematically address performance bottlenecks and hardware limitations.
Partner closely with ML model owners to influence model architectures, ensuring they are designed for optimal, efficient execution on EdgeTPU systems.
Own project execution from end to end, collaborating with cross-functional partners and stakeholders, and managing priorities/deadlines/deliverables for key compiler feature areas.
