About The Job

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.

The WearOS Releases, Telemetry and Analytics team aims to accelerate improvements to WearOS by enabling data-informed product decisions and providing a quality-oriented, data-driven release platform. The WearOS Telemetry team focuses on building data pipelines and infrastructure for wearable devices (e.g., platforms) software and apps. This includes infrastructure and tooling built for monitoring and validation of feature success, system health, power, performance and business metrics reporting and processing. We also uphold privacy standards and advocate for those within the wider team including adherence to data sharing regulations.

Android is Google’s open-source mobile operating system powering more than 3 billion devices worldwide. Android is about bringing computing to everyone in the world. We believe computing is a super power for good, enabling access to information, economic opportunity, productivity, connectivity between friends and family and more. We think everyone in the world should have access to the best computing has to offer. We provide the platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and developers to build compelling computing devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs, wearables, etc) that run the best apps/services for everyone in the world.

Responsibilities
• Work on full-stack development of WearOS to monitor and optimize the power usage of the platform using a data-driven approach. Build and enhance data pipelines and tooling that are used in the detection and fixing of system health, power and performance issues.
• Optimize WearOS platform framework, Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and Board Support Package (BSP) layers. Enhance architecture of the operating system for power and performance.
• Design and implement data collection pipelines and infrastructure specific to wearable devices by modifying Android-based WearOS platform and apps code.
• Improve the quality, functionality, and security of the device by creating tools and processes that help with detection and efficient fixing of bugs found during field use.
