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.

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.

Responsibilities

• Develop firmware in C, C++, or Rust for embedded microcontrollers in System on a Chip (SoC) projects.
• Study hardware designs, prototype software based simulation, and engage in hardware/software co-design efforts to design and implement platform power management.
• Work with early hardware prototypes, emulation, software-simulation of SoC and subsystem designs to verify and enable functionality.
• Develop software based hardware simulations to allow early explorations of software/hardware interfaces and support early architecture decisions.
• Write production level firmware code, and support it through to product launch.
