About The Job

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.

As an Image Quality Engineer, you will manage the image quality evaluation and tuning of the Image Signal Processor (ISP). You will build an image quality testing environment to perform quality tests. In addition to the standard image quality testing charts, you will also generate synthetic patterns to test imaging and computational photography algorithms in challenging ways as part of getting the best performance out of the system.

Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices & Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user’s interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices & Services team is making people’s lives better through technology.

Responsibilities

• Design required tests for validating ISP algorithms and image tuning quality.
• Capture images from devices or evaluation kits for simulation.
• Perform subjective image quality evaluation of image processing algorithms and provide feedback to internal teams to improve image quality.
• Write scripts to generate simulation results and image quality metrics.
