About The Position

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 Google Android XR Team’s mission is to give people superhuman abilities by making information instantly and intuitively accessible. We're focused on making immersive computing accessible to billions of people through mobile immersive XR devices. The XR Perception team develops sensing algorithms to understand the real-world scene within an AR/VR context, optimized for compute-constrained devices. In this role, you will be expected to design and implement computational eye models that deliver system Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), by leveraging scientific knowledge from human direction literature and data statistics. You will work across different engineering teams, including ML/perception, synthetics, human direction, etc. The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's various computing software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our first party devices and services that combine the best of Google AI, software, and hardware. Teams across this area research, design, and develop new technologies to make our user's interaction with computing faster and more seamless, building innovative experiences for our users around the world.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
