Senior Software Engineer, Sensor AI/ML, Watch Software

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.

Would you like to work on interesting Google products that have a meaningful impact on our users? Then come talk to us! We are building Google's Pixel Watch and Fitbit devices that incorporate the best of Google AI, ML and Fitbit algorithms to enable fitness, wellness, health and overall quality of life for our users and are looking for motivated engineers to join us in our mission.

We are seeking an expert to enable sensor awareness algorithms using AI/ML bringing real-time sensor fusion understanding to a resource constrained, on-body device. This role is a unique opportunity to take cutting-edge research in sensor AI / ML, often confined to labs and large-scale systems, and ship it in a product with massive, immediate user impact.

The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's various computing software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our first party devices and services that combine the best of Google AI, software, and hardware. Teams across this area research, design, and develop new technologies to make our user's interaction with computing faster and more seamless, building innovative experiences for our users around the world.
