About the jobUnderstanding real world context is a key enabler of Android's future as a proactive helpful agent in our users' daily lives. The Motion Systems and Algorithms team and our partners are building the foundational capabilities and provide a large fraction of the real world input that turns Android devices into amazing tools that simplify a wide range of everyday user journeys.
The Motion Systems and Algorithms Team (MSAT) is at the forefront of location and motion technology. Our mission is to deliver high-quality context and seemingly magical experiences for users in motion. We work on some of the hardest problems in sensor fusion and state estimation, developing and productizing cutting-edge algorithms and ML models that power core features on Android devices and Pixel products.
Android is Google's mobile operating system powering more than 3 billion devices worldwide. Android is about bringing computing to everyone in the world. We believe computing is a super power for good, enabling access to information, economic opportunity, productivity, connectivity between friends and family and more. We think everyone in the world should have access to the best computing has to offer. We provide the platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and developers to build compelling computing devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs, wearables, etc) that run the best apps/services for everyone in the world.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
