About the job

Google's software developers 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 software developers 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 developer, 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 software developers 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 Augmented Reality (AR) team is a group of software developers, designers, and research scientists tasked with building the foundations for great immersive computing and prototyping helpful, delightful user experiences. We're focused on making immersive computing accessible to many people through mobile devices, as our scope continues to grow and evolve.

Within the AR team, we are a multidisciplinary research group using large-scale software simulation, optimization, data science, statistical analysis, and metrology to design, analyze, and deliver cutting-edge optics for next-generation augmented reality devices.

In this role, you will work with a variety of teams to build the software tools they need to develop and deliver augmented reality devices.

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices & Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user's interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices & Services team is making people's lives better through technology.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with the rest of the R&D team to deliver the tools they need to develop next-generation augmented reality devices.
• Build data pipelines for modeling and analyzing the optical performance of a system based on simulations.
• Build data pipelines for collection, storage, processing, and analysis of metrology data.
• Create dashboards, web-based data query applications, and Google colab notebook application programming interfaces (APIs).
• Push capabilities of software as needed, (e.g., faster simulations, optimization and analysis techniques, more useful user interfaces, and interfacing with hardware and lab equipment).
