No. That is insane to even think about. Google practices blameless postmortem processes that focuses on avoiding repeat incidents and fixing processes. This is not just something we write down in books but something we do on a daily basis and believe in it.

The only way I can think of someone being punished is, of course, it was maliciously done.

I worked at Google, made a pretty big mistake that broke part of search, and can confirm. I was not punished, instead was asked to write a postmortem, and was even promoted in the following performance review cycle.
