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.

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices & 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 & Services team is making people's lives better through technology.

Responsibilities

• Design methodology for automated tuning/testing/simulation to reduce manual labor.
  
• Engage with different sensor and module vendors and incorporate the new technology into Google products. Work with different SOC vendors to integrate the algorithms onto their platforms.
  
• Implement, optimize, and integrate the algorithms onto device platform goals.
  
• Develop auto focus, PDAF (Phase Diff Auto Focus), LDAF (Laser Detection Auto Focus) and Contrast AF algorithms or any ISP blocks for mobile device cameras.
