About the job

As an organization, Google maintains a portfolio of research projects driven by fundamental research, new product innovation, product contribution and infrastructure goals, while providing individuals and teams the freedom to emphasize specific types of work. As a Research Scientist, you'll setup large-scale tests and deploy promising ideas quickly and broadly, managing deadlines and deliverables while applying the latest theories to develop new and improved products, processes, or technologies. From creating experiments and prototyping implementations to designing new architectures, our research scientists work on real-world problems that span the breadth of computer science, such as machine (and deep) learning, data mining, natural language processing, hardware and software performance analysis, improving compilers for mobile platforms, as well as core search and much more.

As a Research Scientist, you'll also actively contribute to the wider research community by sharing and publishing your findings, with ideas inspired by internal projects as well as from collaborations with research programs at partner universities and technical institutes all over the world.

In this role, you will lead our Machine Learning (ML) efficiency effort. You will work on next-generation large language models architecture, in close partnership with hardware engineers and researchers. Recent breakthroughs in large language models performance led to many new research directions, and a lot of teams are focusing on maximizing performance when using the existing hardware. There are also teams designing the next generation of hardware based on an extrapolation of the current modeling efforts. You will co-design high-performance models along with the next generation of ML accelerators (TPUs) that can power them efficiently.

Google Research is building the next generation of intelligent systems for all Google products. To achieve this, we’re working on projects that utilize the latest computer science techniques developed by skilled software developers and research scientists. Google Research teams collaborate closely with other teams across Google, maintaining the flexibility and versatility required to adapt new projects and foci that meet the demands of the world's fast-paced business needs.

Responsibilities
  • Generate, design ideas, leading a team for finding innovative solutions through theoretical or empirical insights.
  • Design and implementing Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, running and analyzing experiments, incorporating components that could constitute part of a future Tensor Processing Unit (TPU).
  • Collaborate with research teams located across the globe.
  • Define long-term research agendas, intermediate milestones, and align with research and product partners.
  • Impact through publication and scientific dissemination.
Google is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status. We also consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements. See also Google's EEO Policy and EEO is the Law. If you have a disability or special need that requires accommodation, please let us know by completing our Accommodations for Applicants form.
Mission
We're connecting diverse talent to big career moves. Meeting people who boost your career is hard - yet networking is key to growth and economic empowerment. We’re here to support you - within your current workplace or somewhere new. Upskill, join daily virtual events, apply to roles (it’s free!).
