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.
Beam — a product that combines advances in hardware and software to enable friends, families and coworkers to feel together, regardless of location. Imagine looking through a magic window, you see another person, life-size and in three dimensions. You can talk naturally, gesture and make eye contact. To make this experience possible, we apply research in computer vision, machine learning, spatial audio and real-time compression. We have also developed a breakthrough light field display system that creates a sense of volume and depth, without the need for additional glasses. The effect is the feeling of a person sitting just across from you, like they are right there.
Labs is a group focused on incubating early-stage efforts in support of Google’s mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team exists to help discover and create new ways to advance our core products through exploration and the application of new technologies. We work to build new solutions that have the potential to transform how users interact with Google. Our goal is to drive innovation by developing new Google products and capabilities that deliver significant impact over longer timeframes.Responsibilities
- Transfer software algorithms/ tools to internal/external manufacturing partners.
- Publish software tools for monitoring/debugging deployed prototypes/products.
- Design/validate light field display calibration algorithm performance in the laboratory.
- Implement, document, and maintain code base for advanced display algorithms and tools.
- Own automatic light field display calibration software, from prototypes to mass production.
