About the job

Google's custom-designed machines make up one of the largest and most powerful computing infrastructures in the world. The Hardware Testing Engineering team ensures that this cutting-edge equipment is reliable. In the R&D lab, you design test equipment for prototypes of our machinery and develop the protocols used to scale these tests for the entire global team. Working closely with design engineers, you give input on designs to improve our hardware until you're sure it meets Google's standards of quality and reliability.

With your technical expertise, you create test plans for highly complex platforms (e.g., validating the interaction of multiple pieces of equipment at the networking and subsystem levels), and using your deep knowledge of component design characteristics, you diagnose highly complex hardware or software issues.

The Product Lifecycle and Technical Operations (PLaTO) Manufacturing Systems Engineering team builds applications to support the manufacturing test of data center products. We own the development of hardware and software solutions that are deployed on factory floors worldwide.

We provide software and services that run at factories producing Google products as well as other support for the Test Engineer teams. Our products include OpenTest (test executive) and Sentinel, an active factory adaptive test platform with components in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Google's internal cloud infrastructure.

In this role, you will develop and maintain Python code and Golang. You will execute a software development lifecycle that includes customer intake, writing specifications, doing code reviews and releasing software. You will participate in Agile sprints and adhere to good coding practices.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.

We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.
