Job Description

Snapshot
Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanity's most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind, we're a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, and collaborate with others on critical challenges, ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority.
About The Team
We develop and apply state-of-the-art AI methods and models to Chip Design and work closely with research and product teams across Google.
Our team is composed of research scientists, research engineers and software engineers that have already had a big impact on real products via research breakthroughs. We work on lighting the path of new ideas that can become new products. We work closely with hardware engineers, architects, and ML model developers to generate novel ideas and bring them to products.
The mission of our team is to enable "near infinite compute at near zero cost". This implies working across the entire software and hardware stack to discover opportunities for optimization and create AI based-technologies that improve the efficiency of training and serving AI workloads. We work with, and we optimize EDA tools for better quality of results, performance, and scalability.
At Google DeepMind we've built a unique culture and work environment where long-term ambitious research grounded in real problems can flourish.
