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.As a Senior Software Engineer specializing in memory bring-up, you will lead the post-silicon enablement and optimization of high-speed memory subsystems (such as low-power double data rate (LPDDRx)) for Google’s custom silicon. Bridging the gap between hardware and software, you will develop the critical initialization firmware and diagnostic software that ensures high performance, stability, and reliability at scale across the Pixel product portfolio.\nThe 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.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.US: $174000 - $252000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits\nLearn more about benefits at Google.\nResponsibilities\nWrite and test product or system development code.\nParticipate in, or lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders to decide amongst available technologies.\nReview code developed by other developers and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency).\nContribute to existing documentation or educational content and adapt content based on product/program updates and user feedback.\nTriage product or system issues and debug/track/resolve by analyzing the sources of issues and the impact on hardware, network, or service operations and quality.\nQualifications\nMinimum qualifications:\nBachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.\n5 years of experience with software development in one or more programming languages.\n3 years of experience testing, maintaining, or launching software products, and 1 year of experience with software design and architecture.\n3 years of experience working with embedded operating systems.\n2 years of experience working with embedded systems and device drivers.\nPreferred qualifications:\nMaster's degree or PhD in Computer Science or related technical field.\nExperience in memory subsystem bring-up, training, calibration, and validation (e.g., DDR4/5, LPDDR4/5, or HBM).\nExperience collaborating with cross-functional teams (SoC design, signal integrity, platform software) to root-cause hardware-software issues.\nExperience with pre-silicon emulation/simulation platforms (e.g., Palladium, Zebu, or FPGA).\nExperience debugging low-level hardware/software interactions using lab tools (e.g., logic analyzers, oscilloscopes).\nExperience with low-level bare-metal firmware or driver development in C or C++.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3832,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Electrical & Electronic Engineering","Streaming & OTT Platforms","Foundation Models","Consumer Internet Groups"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T19:05:53Z"}],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:7","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-09-27T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/google-senior-software-engineer-embedded-systems-pixel-memory","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/google-senior-software-engineer-embedded-systems-pixel-memory.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-28T04:31:43Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2765,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2235,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-29T00:00:00Z"}}}
