About the role

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.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience
  • 5 years of experience with software development in the C++ or Python programming language
  • 3 years of experience testing, maintaining, or launching software products, and 1 year of experience with software design and architecture
  • 1 year of experience with state of the art GenAI techniques (e.g., LLMs, Multi-Modal, Large Vision Models) or with GenAI-related concepts (language modeling, computer vision)
  • Experience with modern robotics frameworks, kinematic motion planning, actuator control, and sensor integration
More about this role
  • Build robust, low-latency C++ and Python software pipelines for robotic motion planning, trajectory tracking, and multi-sensor feedback loops.
  • Deploy robotic arms and Vision-Language-Action (VLA) foundation models to autonomously wear, adjust, tap, and interact with smart glasses.
  • Emulate human sight, speech, and hearing to validate real-time conversational and visual interactions with multimodal AI assistants.
  • Leverage mobile and kinematic robotic platforms and use modern physics simulators (e.g., MuJoCo, Isaac Sim) to model human kinematics, retarget recorded human motions to robotic bodies, and train robust policies before physical execution.
  • Build agentic harnesses that translate natural language user journeys into synchronized physical execution across automated testbed fleets.
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5 years of experience with software development in the C++ or Python programming language.
  • 3 years of experience testing, maintaining, or launching software products, and 1 year of experience with software design and architecture.
