About the job

Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Engineer goes beyond just Search. Software Engineering Managers have not only the technical expertise to take on and provide technical leadership to major projects, but also manage a team of Engineers. You not only optimize your own code but make sure Engineers are able to optimize theirs. As a Software Engineering Manager you manage your project goals, contribute to product strategy and help develop your team. Teams work all across the company, in areas such as information retrieval, natural language processing, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking, security, data compression, user interface design; the list goes on and is growing every day. Operating with scale and speed, our exceptional software engineers are just getting started -- and as a manager, you guide the way.

With technical and leadership expertise, you manage engineers across multiple teams and locations, a large product budget and oversee the deployment of large-scale projects across multiple sites internationally.

As the Software Engineering Manager for Pixel Sensor Core Software, you will lead a specialized team of Embedded Software Engineers who are responsible for the majority of the sensors that ship on Pixel devices.

The team's mission is to develop the core device software required for each of the sensors on every Pixel device.

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 software, and hardware to build global smartphones and create transformative experiences for users across the world.

Responsibilities
  • Manage and mentor a specialized team of Embedded Software Engineers, fostering their growth as industry-recognized experts. Communicate the team's accomplishments, asks and collaborations to leadership and partner organizations.
  • Hire talent with expertise in real time embedded development and sensor algorithms.
  • Demonstrate critical independent thinking capabilities, troubleshooting and communication skills.
