Job Description

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.EdgeSense processes sensor data from OEM vehicles to improve coverage and freshness of map-related data and improve the user experience.EdgeSense is building out an algorithmic foundation to enable a deeper local scene understanding based on available sensors on current vehicle platforms, which also includes perception. The local scene understanding is leveraged to understand map churn and drive automated map maintenance. The Geo team is focused on building the most accurate, comprehensive, and useful maps for our users, through products like Maps, Earth, Street View, Google Maps Platform, and more. Every month, more than a billion people rely on Maps services to explore the world and navigate their daily lives.The Geo team also enables developers to use the power of Google Maps platforms to enhance their apps and websites. As they plot a course for the future of mapping, they are solving complex computer science problems, designing beautiful and intuitive product experiences, and improving our understanding of the real world.

Must have:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or equivalent practical experience.
8 years of experience in software development, and with data structures/algorithms
5 years of experience in software development (e.g., deep learning, perception, or computer vision).
Experience with computer vision (e.g., image classification, image processing, object detection), video generation, or signal processing in either an academic or industry setting.
Experience in machine learning frameworks leveraging deep learning models in the domain of computer vision or machine vision (e.g., object detection, semantic segmentation, depth estimation, 3D vision).

Good to have:

Master’s degree or PhD in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
3 years of experience in a technical leadership role leading project teams and setting technical direction.
3 years of experience working in a complex, matrixed organization involving cross-functional or cross-business projects.
