Job Description
Minimum qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a specialized field (e.g., Optics, Sensors, Audio/DSP, etc.), or equivalent practical experience. 4 years of experience in direct electromagnetic (EM) modeling using tools such as Ansys HFSS/Q3D, CST microwave studio, or cadence clarity. Preferred qualifications: Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field (e.g., Optics, Sensors, Audio/DSP). Experience in electromagnetic fields and near-field coupling mechanisms. Experience in Signal Integrity and Power Integrity simulation and measurement correlation. Experience in lab measurement skills, with scripting capabilities (e.g., Python, MATLAB) to drive both measurement and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) simulation automation. Proficiency with industry-standard SI/PI simulation and layout ecosystems, including Ansys SIwave, Cadence (PowerSI, PowerDC, Allegro, APD), Keysight ADS, and HSPICE.
About the job In this role, you will participate actively across all lifecycle stages of Pixel Watch product development. You will serve as the technical owner for component and system-level Electromagnetic (EM) integrity, signal and power integrity translating data into actionable architecture-level insights. You will require close collaboration with cross-functional teams to predict, debug, and optimize the hardware performance of next-generation wearable technology.The 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.
