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.
Our team focuses on model quality, outputs, compilation to achieve a wide range of capabilities on device, and work with other teams in the Laptops & Tablets On-Device Machine Learning (L&T ODML) to build APIs for building engaging user experiences on device.
In this role you will be responsible for learning the foundations of ML modeling, neural networks, transformers, Generative Artificial Intelligence (genAI), optimization techniques like quantization, model compilation and op fusing, fine-tuning techniques like prompt tuning, and how they tie into the inference software stack to run across the entire laptop and tablet fleet of Android devices.
Responsibilities
- Bringup ML and GenAI models onto various compute (CPU, GPU and NPUs) across suite of devices (laptops and tablets).
- Test and benchmark model performance and quality across varying sizes and constraints.
- Fine-tune training and model quality optimizations. Also model compilation and training.
- Build inference graphs that can leverage on-device models.
- Collaborate with power and performance teams to optimize model power/compute usage and memory footprint.
