Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.
In this role, you will drive the integration, calibration, and verification of XR device hardware from early architecture through production. You will build simulations across acoustics, optics, and dynamics to virtualize and evaluate device performance before physical hardware exists. Additionally, you will define physical testing systems and build data analysis pipelines to characterize device performance and validate simulations. Finally, you will use both simulation and test platforms to generate high-fidelity datasets to develop AI/ML models. Your work will directly establish the calibration and verification methods to deliver performance for headsets and glasses across their lifetime.
For decades, the computing revolution has reshaped our world driven by
breakthroughs in compute, connectivity, mobile, and now, AI. Google's XR team is at the forefront of the next major leap – the convergence of AI and XR. This is more than just new devices – it's about reimagining how we interact with the world around us. We're building a future where
lightweight XR devices like smart glasses and headsets pair with helpful AI to augment human intelligence, offering personalized, conversational, and contextually aware experiences.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
