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.

We are the team that builds Google Tensor, a custom System-on-Chip (SoC) that powers the latest Pixel phones. Tensor makes transformative user experiences possible with the help of Machine Learning (ML) running on Tensor TPU. The goal is to productize the latest ML innovations and research by delivering computing hardware and software.

As a Software Engineer you will work on the mobile software stack for the Tensor SoC, with a focus on deployment of on-device ML framework for a range of user experiences including Camera, Speech, Generative AI, and more. You will be responsible for managing project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables.

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.
