Hardware/Electrical Engineering PhD Intern, 2026 (English)

The Google Cloud and AI Infrastructure team in Israel focuses on building Google's next-generation systems. The teams work is grounded in creating custom hardware, and as an Intern you'll get to collaborate with engineers from various parts of the organization to influence the future of Google Cloud and the AI infrastructure by working on the foundational technology that makes it all possible. This is the hardware that powers everything from Google Cloud, to our most advanced models like Gemini. As an intern, you will work on fundamental problems at the intersection of hardware, software, and algorithms. You will collaborate with exceptional engineers and researchers on projects that directly impact Google's custom silicon portfolio, including general-purpose CPUs, highly specialized AI accelerators like our Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), and complex Systems-on-a-Chip (SoCs). Your responsibilities and projects will be tailored to your expertise and could focus on any part of the system stack. This may include: Algorithmic Innovation: Developing and analyzing new algorithms that are deeply co-designed with our custom hardware. Software and Compilers: Building the software stack, compilers, and performance analysis tools that unlock the potential of our unique architectures. System Architecture and Modeling: Architecting and modeling future CPUs, TPUs, and SoCs to guide critical design decisions. Hardware Design and Verification: Contributing to all aspects of silicon creation, from logic design and verification to VLSI physical implementation. Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
