一下是google招聘ASIC工程师的简介：
Our computational challenges are so big, complex and unique we can't just purchase off-the-shelf hardware, we've got to make it ourselves. Your team designs and builds the hardware, software and networking technologies that power all of Google's services. As a Hardware Engineer, you design and build the systems that are the heart of the world's largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. You develop from the lowest levels of circuit design to large system design and see those systems all the way through to high volume manufacturing. Your work has the potential to shape the machinery that goes into our cutting-edge data centers affecting millions of Google users.

体的我就不翻译了，大家自己用google翻译一下就好了。具体的网页链接如下：https://www.google.com/about/jobs/search/#!t=jo&jid=9365002& ;

相关的，国内的大型互联网公司也有动作，某大型互联网公司（其实就是腾讯啦）招聘FPGA工程师：
负责腾讯图片压缩、视频转码等高性能计算实现。
具备FPGA编程3年以上开发经验，对图片压缩，视频转码算法有一定了解，具备图片编解码或视频转码相关经验者优先。

从google那段招聘的需求看起来，通用的硬件已经不能满足互联网大佬们对计算性能的需求了。 大佬们纷纷按捺不住要自己出马上阵来搞为自己服务的专属硬件了。大概在2年前我就在不同的场合说过，IC设计的下一个春天就是互联网公司出手来做芯片。现在看来已经逐渐的接近实现了。

只不过现在做IC的做法估计得改改了。由原来的上游产业、龙头产业往服务产业转变了。为谁服务？为应用服务。随着摩尔定律逐渐接近理论极限，先进的工艺投入产出比已经非常难以继续下去了，全靠拼通用计算估计是拼不下来了。这个时候去做专用计算提高能效比就成了不二的选择。 所以做IC/FPGA设计的小伙伴们，转变就业思路吧。互联网企业正在向你们招手~~~~
