Staff System Architect, Next-Gen Experiences, Google Pixel

Google | Mountain View, CA, USA; San Diego, CA, USA. Minimum qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, a related field, or equivalent practical experience. 6 years of experience working on mobile or embedded systems. 3 years of experience working in technical leadership focused on system architecture definition. The Pixel System Architecture team plays a key role in defining the next generation of Pixel products, including phones and emerging concepts. During the product-definition phase, the team takes a systems view, working cross-functionally to map targeted user experiences into workloads and to drive hardware definition decisions. We establish the end-to-end compute and data flow and evaluate where workloads should be executed across system components. The team also develops and leverages power and performance models to project key system KPIs, ensuring all decisions are optimized for the best user experience. In the productization phase, we work closely with Engineering teams to support execution, validate our projections and support product feature and software decisions at key checkpoints through launch. As a key member of the Pixel System Architecture team, you will drive the definition for the next generation of Pixel products. You will own the end-to-end system architecture, translating user experiences into foundational hardware and software decisions. For new experiences, you will work closely with Science, Silicon and Android platform partners to determine the optimal execution and offload strategy for emerging algorithms. You will contribute to development of performance, battery, and thermal models that will guide critical technical trade-offs to ensure our designs are optimized for real-world use. In close partnership with product management and engineering, you will steer architectural concepts from initial idea through to launch, making a direct impact on millions of users. The Google Pixel team focuses on designing and delivering the world's most helpful mobile experience. The team works on shaping the future of Pixel devices and services through some of the most advanced designs, techniques, products, and experiences in consumer electronics. This includes bringing together the best of Google’s artificial intelligence, software, and hardware to build global smartphones and create transformative experiences for users across the world.
