About The Job

Google’s software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We’re looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.

The Silicon team develops custom silicon solutions that provide differentiated user experiences in Google Hardware products and optimize performance and power for the targeted use cases. This includes SoCs (systems on a chip) and other mixed signal, logic, and sensor ICs (integrated circuits) for our product portfolio. In this role, you will partner with cross functional teams to deliver software to enable the best user experience on Pixel and other hardware products. This team has the unique opportunity of working on the architecture definition of new experiences. You will focus on software power and performance optimization for the SoCs. You will also have the opportunity to deliver the best experiences to the end users, and influence the design of the future Google’s SoCs and software features.

Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people’s lives better through technology.
