Software Engineer, Silicon Software Platform

As a software engineer at Google, you will be responsible for developing firmware in C, C++, or Rust for embedded microcontrollers in System on a Chip (SoC) projects. Your role will involve studying hardware designs, prototyping Software based simulations, and engaging in Hardware/Software co-design efforts to design and implement platform power management. Working with early hardware prototypes, emulation, and software-simulation of SoC and subsystem designs will be part of your responsibilities to verify and enable functionality. Additionally, you will develop Software-based Hardware simulations to allow early explorations of Software/Hardware interfaces and support early architecture decisions. Writing production-level firmware code and supporting it through to product launch will also be a key aspect of your role. Google's software engineers play a crucial role in developing next-generation technologies that impact how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. The products you work on will need to handle information at massive scale and extend well beyond web search. Therefore, we are looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from various areas such as information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design, and mobile technology. As a software engineer at Google, you will have the opportunity to work on specific projects critical to Google's needs, with the flexibility to switch teams and projects as both you and the fast-paced business evolve. Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. The team you will be a part of combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. Through research, design, and development of new technologies and hardware, we aim to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful, ultimately improving people's lives through technology. Your qualifications should include a Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience, along with 5 years of experience in developing C, Rust, or C++, and 3 years of experience in software development for Embedded Systems, kernel drivers, or device drivers. Additionally, you should have 3 years of experience in testing and launching software products on embedded devices. Preferred qualifications for this role include experience in development with C, Rust, or C++ for firmware applications, power-aware engineering practices, working with embedded operating systems like Linux, FreeRTOS, SafeRTOS, ZephyrOS, etc., familiarity with hardware register interfaces and device specifications, and experience with Embedded Software environments, including constrained memory and code on ARM processors.,
