Software Engineer III, Pigweed
Software Engineer III, Pigweed
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. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google's needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.
In this role, you will build and maintain Pigweed, a modern microcontroller platform for Google and others. You will help teams get to market faster with better products, by relieving them of many low-level microcontroller concerns, such as building a new logging system, a new factory test system, continuous on-hardware platform tests, unit testing systems, and so on. The long term goal is to have most microcontrollers in products shipped by Google running the platform in whole or in part.
Responsibilities:
- Design and develop microcontroller platform modules (e.g. OTA, crash handling, logging, bootloaders, size analysis tooling, Kernel development), this will involve low-level C, C++, Rust, occasional assembly, as well as Python-level scripting and test development.
- Help define the areas that are most impactful for the team to create, by learning about customer needs or from past experience, these new modules may be written in C++, Rust, Python, Java, or TypeScript as appropriate.
- Support client teams to ensure their success the platform is only successful when the clients are. Focus on client-success this may at times, include travelling to factories across the ocean to help with bringup.
