We prioritize security, efficiency, and reliability across everything we do - from developing our latest TPUs to running a global network, while driving towards shaping the future of hyperscale computing. Our global impact spans software and hardware, including Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, the leading AI platform for bringing Gemini models to enterprise customers.
Responsibilities
- Utilize performance and power models from the architecture team, as well as lab measurements, to validate and tune performance against established goals.
- Exercise open source benchmarks, analyze the results, and find optimization opportunities.
- Develop and implement advanced technologies for running benchmark representations on pre-silicon environments.
- Analyze complex problems, identify core design weaknesses, and drive the resolution of performance issues in both pre and post-silicon environments.
- Develop performance measurement frameworks, including Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), to produce regular reports and dashboards that support stakeholder decision-making.
