About the job
At Google, research-focused Software Engineers are embedded throughout the company, allowing them to set up large-scale tests and deploy promising ideas quickly and broadly. Ideas may come from internal projects as well as collaborations with research programs at partner universities and technical institutes around the world.
From creating experiments and prototyping implementations to designing new architectures, engineers work on real-world problems including artificial intelligence, data mining, natural language processing, hardware and software performance analysis, improving compilers for mobile platforms, core search, and much more. You will remain connected to your research roots as an active contributor to the wider research community by partnering with universities and publishing papers.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to explore projects at an industrial scale, work with technology, and experience Google culture. You will return to universities with new research directions and educational ideas. You will collaborate on a project proposal that includes expected outcomes and results. Google Research addresses challenges that define the technology of today and tomorrow. From conducting fundamental research to influencing product development, our research teams have the opportunity to impact technology used by billions of people every day.
Our teams aspire to make discoveries that impact everyone, and core to our approach is sharing our research and tools to fuel progress in the field—we publish regularly in academic journals, release projects as open source, and apply research to Google products.
Responsibilities
• Conduct qualitative research (e.g., interviews, workshops) on topics related to responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI).
• Develop design and evaluation guidance for responsible AI systems.
• Work with vulnerable populations and community-based organizations, and design study protocols to comply with related human subjects and data ethics standards.
