About the job

Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.

As a part of the Display Applications Developing team, you will serve as the critical bridge between Research and Development (R&D) and commercial reality. You will function as a strategic lead operating globally to secure critical design and manufacturing ramps for Tier-1 consumer electronics leaders. Your mission is to lower the barrier to entry for technology, transforming next-gen display silicon into market-ready solutions. You will build development platforms, from advanced hardware drivers to automated internal software tools, solve critical integration issues in display image quality, power, and thermal management. You will go beyond traditional support and design the ecosystem that makes display innovations easier to integrate, faster to adopt, and impossible to ignore.

As a Display Applications Developer, you will design the reference hardware and software ecosystems that drive the adoption of our advanced display silicon. You will own the complete hardware development life cycle for display development platforms—from defining functional requirements and schematic design to board bring-up and comprehensive signal/power integrity analysis.

You will act as a lead for the global developing team, by bridging the gap between silicon R&D and commercial integration. You will ensure our display technology is not only high-performing but also easy to implement for our partners.

Google's Raxium display group has established a revolutionary semiconductor materials display technology that enables new functionality in display products, bringing to users a closer and more natural linkage between the digital and physical realms in applications such as augmented reality (AR) and light-field display. With start-up roots and a compound semiconductor fab in Silicon Valley, Raxium is seeking to build upon its engineering team with an aim to disrupt next-generation display markets.

Responsibilities

• Own the hardware development life-cycle, from defining functional requirements and schematic design through board bring-up and validation, while performing signal and power integrity analysis to de-risk designs.

• Lead electrical and thermal characterization of display systems to ensure image quality, investigating power delivery issues (e.g., correlating wirebond defects or On-Pixel Ratio (OPR) artifacts to visual performance).

• Design and build internal development tools using Python to automate workflows, focusing on user-centric solutions that increase efficiency for the wider developing team.

• Utilize light measurement devices alongside standard electronic measurement tools to correlate electrical performance with optical output.

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 working in a hardware product development technical environment.

Preferred qualifications

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field (e.g., Optics, Sensors, Audio/DSP).

• Ability to work in a cross-functional environment and communicate technical concepts both internally and externally.

• Ability to process and visualize experimental data to support engineering decisions.

• Ability to correlate electrical performance with optical outputs (brightness, color, uniformity) and familiarity with light measurement devices (spectrometers, colorimeters, industrial cameras).

• Ability to travel internationally (Taipei or partner sites) to support integration milestones.

• Familiarity with standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, electronic loads) for characterization and root-cause analysis.
