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.\nAs a key member of a small and versatile team, you design, test, deploy and maintain software solutions.\nWe are a growing team of Embedded/Firmware engineers who are involved in co-designing high-performance and secure SoCs from ideation to landing. The team is designing and developing bootROMs, Firmware/Software drivers, and working with the ecosystem and partners to drive the adoption of the new SoC architectures.\nGoogle Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.\nIndividual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.Poland: zł280000 - zł287000 (PLN) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits\nLearn more about benefits at Google.\nResponsibilities\nContribute to the implementation of robust firmware code based in C/C++, design sequences, simulators and emulators for new features and optimize existing systems. This involves low-level hardware interaction, peripheral control, writing and maintaining device drivers for various SoC peripherals (e.g., UART, I2C, SPI, memory controllers, etc.).\nFocus on the secure aspects of the boot process, such as Confidential Compute, Attestation, Security, etc.\nContribute to design activities.\nNavigate up and down the stack as needed. Implement new BIOS features, sometimes debugging a kernel driver, or interacting with the silicon designers.\nIdentify root causes of complex issues within the SoC. You will use debugging tools like in-circuit emulators, simulator, logging, JTAG debuggers to isolate and fix software bugs.\nQualifications\nMinimum qualifications:\nPhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\nExperience with software development in one or more programming languages (e.g., Python, C, C++, Java, JavaScript).\nExperience with microcontrollers and embedded systems (e.g., registers, design sequences, RTL, or verilog, etc.) and firmware development.\nPreferred qualifications:\nExperience with embedded Linux or Linux device drivers.\nExperience working in Zephyr, BIOS, UEFI, EDK2.\nFamiliarity with security firmware development.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3440,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Operating Systems","Streaming & OTT Platforms","Foundation Models","Consumer Internet Groups"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T11:40:44Z"}],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.9,"p_active":0.204,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":480,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:55","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-09-29T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/google-software-engineer-early-careers-phd-gsoc-server-software","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/google-software-engineer-early-careers-phd-gsoc-server-software.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-30T03:00:19Z","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":2285,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2715,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-01T00:00:00Z"}}}
