Google killed the Pixel Tablet. So why is it hiring engineers for Pixel tablets?
Job listings hint Google may not be done with Pixel tablets after all.
Google unveiled the Pixel Tablet in 2023, but sales have since dwindled. Plans for a Pixel Tablet 2 are reportedly on the chopping block. Despite this, Google continues to post job openings seeking "Pixel tablet" engineers. Pixel phones remain a focus for Google, but the company has struggled to replicate the success of its phones with the Pixel Tablet.
This month, Google removed the Pixel Tablet and its entire "Tablets" section from its online store. However, if Google is giving up on the Pixel Tablet, why is the company actively hiring engineers to work on Pixel tablets? Google is always on the hunt for skilled new hires, so the company frequently posts detailed job listings to attract qualified candidates.
For example, Google is looking for an engineer to join the Pixel Core USB team, which works on the software stack that controls USB connectivity between Pixel devices and various accessories. In the posting, Google explicitly mentions working "across Pixel phones, tablets, and accessories" and references "current and upcoming Pixel phones and tablets."
