Own the kernel and user-space GPU driver stack for Pixel devices
This role sits on Pixel's GPU driver team within Google's Platforms and Devices org, sharing ownership of the kernel GPU driver and user-space graphics driver stack. Responsibilities span developing new GPU features, performance tuning, silicon bring-up, and debugging low-level issues across in-market and future Pixel devices. Requires a bachelor's degree or equivalent plus 2 years each in low-level systems programming (C/C++) and embedded operating systems, with experience writing low-level graphics API code.
