- PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience driving system architecture definition from concept through productization for innovative consumer electronics.
- Experience profiling complex systems to identify and resolve power and performance bottlenecks, with a passion for optimizing battery life, thermals, and power delivery.
- Expertise in compute acceleration and workload offload for one or more of the following domains: Machine Learning, Computer Vision (e.g., real-time world tracking, 3D scene understanding), or advanced Graphics and Rendering.
- Ability to work top-down, translating high-level use cases into detailed system architecture and component-level requirements.
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.

Responsibilities
- Partner with Product Managers and other teams to evaluate emerging product concepts and define user experiences.
- Take full ownership of the end-to-end architecture, defining compute and data flows to optimize performance and user experience.
- Apply a first-principles approach to guide key software and hardware decisions, balancing user needs against system constraints like performance, battery life, and thermals.
- Develop system-level models and methodologies to project performance and inform software decisions and next-generation hardware requirements.
- Lead architectural investigations to discover new hardware and software optimization opportunities. Create clear system architecture specifications that document end-to-end flows and explain how system components deliver specific user experiences. Collaborate with Hardware, SoC, and Software teams to track performance projections, resolve issues, and continuously improve our modeling methodologies.
