About The Job

At Google, our philosophy is build it, break it and then rebuild it better. That thinking is at the core of how we approach testing at Google. Unlike roles with similar names at the other companies, Test Engineers at Google aren't manual testers -- you write scripts to automate testing and create tools so developers can test their own code. As a Test Engineer, you navigate Google's massive codebase, identify weak spots and constantly design better and creative ways to break software and identify potential problems. You'll have a huge impact on the quality of Google's growing suite of products and services.

You use your knowledge of testing and testability to influence better software design, promote proper engineering practice, bug prevention strategies, testability, accessibility, privacy, and other advanced quality concepts across products.

In this role, you will be part of a research and development team developing software to validate System on a chip (SoC) products. You will provide on-site debug support to isolate test content failures. You will develop ad-hoc test scripts to accelerate Product Development and Test Engineering (PDTE) debug (e.g., launch chrome without WiFi). You will also Identify and troubleshoot test setup issues.

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people's lives better through technology.

Responsibilities

• Test validation software device drivers, libraries, and tools for silicon validation of Google custom silicon on android and other Operating Systems (OS).
• Review test platforms based on hardware, software or architecture requirements.
• Develop or modify test scripts as per product and customer requirements.
• Plan, execute and report validation cycles and coordinate with multidisciplinary teams (e.g., hardware or software) throughout the testing process.
• Participate in debug cycle to achieve test failure Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and perform at first-level debug and troubleshooting with test equipment.
