Minimum qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a specialized field (e.g., Optics, Sensors, Audio/DSP, etc.), or equivalent practical experience. 4 years of experience working in a physics-based simulation technical environment. Experience with physical simulation, testing, and verification, including applying multi-physics testing or simulation for acoustics, optics, or dynamics to virtualize and validate hardware behaviors.
Preferred qualifications:
Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field (e.g., Optics, Sensors, Audio/DSP). About the job 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.
