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.

We are looking for people who are passionate about photography and have imaging backgrounds to join the Pixel Camera team.

The team is in charge of the end-to-end product, from research and developing the algorithms, prototyping, and to the commercialization. Our team's work goes directly into Pixel Phones. Specifically, this team focuses on Autofocus, depth computing, and other advanced computational photography features. Its mission is to keep cameras sharp and clear; develop and support amazing computational photography features for Pixel Phone Cameras.

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices and Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user's interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices and Services team is making people's lives better through technology.

Responsibilities

• Design Autofocus and other computational photography/computer vision features related to depth map, tracking, saliency etc.
• Commercialize Computer Vision (CV) and other computational intensive algorithms.
• Work with cross-functional teams such as Hardware, Research and Image Signal Processor (ISP)/Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) chip design teams.
