About the jobGoogle's software developers 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 a massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for developers 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 developer, 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 developers 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.

As a Connectivity Software Developer on the XR Glasses OS System Software team, you will design, implement and maintain the low-level system software that enables next-generation Augmented Reality (AR) reference platforms.

In this capacity, you will apply your extensive embedded systems expertise to lead the integration, bring-up, and refinement of low-power WiFi and Bluetooth subsystems. You will collaborate with the MicroXR connectivity, Electrical Engineering (EE), and power/thermal teams to achieve the rigorous performance and power Key Performance Indicator (KPIs) necessary for launching groundbreaking product categories.For decades, the computing revolution has reshaped our world driven by
breakthroughs in compute, connectivity, mobile, and now, AI. Google's XR team is at the forefront of the next major leap - the convergence of AI and XR. This is more than just new devices - it's about reimagining how we interact with the world around us. We're building a future where
lightweight XR devices like smart glasses and headsets pair with helpful AI to augment human intelligence, offering personalized, conversational, and contextually aware experiences.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
