Description
Lead a team of engineers on multiple sites and teams to triage customer issues, incorporate learnings in the next generation of hardware, and make software through scalable design. Develop parallelization and scheduling algorithms to optimize compute and data movement costs to execute ML workloads on the EdgeTPU. Work with EdgeTPU architects to design future accelerators, the hardware/software interface, and co-optimizations of the next generation EdgeTPU architectures. Collaborate with ML model developers, researchers, product managers, and EdgeTPU hardware/software teams to accelerate the transition from research ideas to user experiences, including Generative AI, running on the EdgeTPU. Improve processes around Software Development Kit (SDK) release, qualification and communication with an emphasis on more automation and monitoring.Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Engineer goes beyond just Search. Software Engineering Managers have not only the technical expertise to take on and provide technical leadership to major projects, but also manage a team of Engineers. You not only optimize your own code but make sure Engineers are able to optimize theirs. As a Software Engineering Manager you manage your project goals, contribute to product strategy and help develop your team. Teams work all across the company, in areas such as information retrieval, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking, security, data compression, user interface design; the list goes on and is growing every day. Operating with scale and speed, our exceptional software engineers are just getting started -- and as a manager, you guide the way.
With technical and leadership expertise, you manage engineers across multiple teams and locations, a large product budget and oversee the deployment of large-scale projects across multiple sites internationally.
EdgeTPU is a family of embedded machine learning (ML) accelerators that are geared toward a broad set of applications. The compiler team is responsible for analysis, optimization, and compilation of ML models for the EdgeTPU.
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.
