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.
MicroXR project aims to build a software platform for AR thin-client smart glasses based on Android and MCU.
The glasses would serve as the interface to integrate Google’s AI capabilities and bring useful information closer to the user. To achieve this, the glasses need to capture vision signals through various imaging sensors and perform vision analysis on-device efficiently.
The team works on the vertical integration of such flows from HAL services to sensor control, including MCU offloading, to achieve an efficient microXR perception sensing stack for platform adoption.
The Google Augmented Reality team is a group of experts tasked with building the foundations for great immersive computing and building helpful, delightful user experiences. We're focused on making immersive computing accessible to billions of people through mobile devices, and our scope continues to grow and evolve.
