About the job
In this role, you will lead the team to develop features to improve the efficiency with which Pixel engineers can develop functionality, optimize performance and solve challenging system-wide issues. These features are used to capture the complex system state of a running Pixel device and present it to developers in contextually meaningful ways.
To implement these features, your team will work in many layers of the Pixel software stack from embedded micro-controller firmware, bootloader stacks, the Linux kernel, and user-space and off-device services. You will collaborate closely with many other sub-teams using several different programming languages.
As an expert in full system debugging, you will be called upon to explore into complex interactions between Firmware, Software, Silicon and Hardware to provide insights to solve the most challenging issues that arise during the Pixel product development process.
The Google Pixel team focuses on designing and delivering the world's most helpful mobile experience. The team works on shaping the future of Pixel devices and services through some of the most advanced designs, techniques, products, and experiences in consumer electronics. This includes bringing together the best of Google’s artificial intelligence, software, and hardware to build global smartphones and create transformative experiences for users across the world.
Responsibilities
- Lead team in software planning, design and implementation of features in bootloaders, embedded firmware, or Linux kernel.
- Work in code base optimization, including in C, Rust, and Python.
- Participate in bringing up new Pixel devices throughout the full development cycle, including pre-Silicon emulation environments, SoC development boards, prototypes, mass production and in-market.
- Debug complex issues involving complicated multi-faceted interactions between silicon, hardware, firmware, software and the environment.
