Google is preparing to develop its first smartwatch

According to Google's open work page, the company is seeking a position for vice president of engineering. Specialized hardware in the notebook, and in the description, it is clear that the company is looking for a person capable of managing a brand new mobile phone portfolio for Google, which should include devices developed in all price ranges, with all levels of technology available and for everyone. the types of users.

For now, the only "portable" products from Google are Pixel Buds (wireless headsets). , which is strange, because the company has a specific division to develop software and portable operating systems (Wear OS), which are used by several smartwatch companies. However, that is also the way Google is going on the smartphone market: he first created the Android system and sold it to other companies before he started making his own smartphones from the Nexus and Pixel lines.

What the post advertised by Google also implies is that while Contrary to rumors, the company is not about to launch its own smartwatch on the market because the wave clearly indicates that Google plans to build its product development team from scratch, rather than buying a company that already does. This idea that Google might consider buying its entry into the smart watch market appeared last month when the giant bought unspecified shares from the watch maker Fossil. But soon, Fossil has already badured all its shareholders that he would not leave the market and would not be bought by Google and that he would keep the 200 people on his development team.

The announcement further clarifies that this post should be held at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California (considered the "capital" of Silicon Valley) and is looking for candidates with at least 15 years of experience. experience in the market with experience in product management. with manufacturing figures in the hundreds of millions of units that will be shipped to almost every country in the world.
