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.

With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions.

You have experience in graphics driver development. Areas of development may include power management, platform and window-system integration, UI acceleration, GPU compute, performance tuning, developer tools, tests and release management.

As an Embedded Software Engineer in Google Phone Software, you will have the opportunity to pioneer, develop and build out our footprint in consumer hardware/software. You will create delightful gaming experiences, contribute to novel and smooth user interfaces, accelerate interactive viewfinders for the latest in camera image enhancement, specify, build and launch mobile devices in line with Google's ambitious and visionary objectives, and lay the low-level groundwork for moonshots across the company.

Google is and always will be an engineering company. We hire people with a broad set of technical skills who are ready to take on some of technology's greatest challenges and make an impact on millions, if not billions, of users. At Google, engineers not only revolutionize search, they routinely work on massive scalability and storage solutions, large-scale applications and entirely new platforms for developers around the world. From Google Ads to Chrome, Android to YouTube, Social to Local, Google engineers are changing the world one technological achievement after another.

Responsibilities

• Work with Android platform teams, Google phone system software teams, and external vendor teams to triage and fix problems or performance bottlenecks.
• Design and/or implement (or direct others as they implement) new features in ways that minimize your team's technical debt.
• Bring up graphics software for new devices, and work with product and engineering teams to define the role and requirements of the GPU in future product designs.
• Manage individual project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables.
