Our computational challenges are so big and unique we can't just buy our hardware, we've got to make it ourselves. Our Platforms Team designs and builds the hardware, software and networking technologies that power all of Google's services. As a Networking Test Engineer you make sure that our massive and growing network is operating at its peak potential. You have hands-on experience with complex networking equipment, a deep understanding of networking protocols, test design and implementation chops and a background in IP network design. It's your job to make sure Google's cutting-edge technology can perform at scale.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
Responsibilities
- Define and describe network problems, write documents to describe test plans and procedures, and execute and publish results of test plans or process documentation for Google-wide use.
- Review test plans with the team and participate in cross-functional reviews. Write and automate test plans for network and software, and identify and gather requirements to execute tests for several features of moderate to high-complexity projects.
- Manage and execute testing and releases of networking products, including timelines and project plans.
- Establish timelines and project plans for features and see them through completion. Update the operational requirements to adopt new technology into operations (e.g. SDN) in collaboration with engineering, architecture, and developers.
- Review product issues, help recreate issues, verify fixes for problems, and improve processes to ensure problems are not repeated again by test automation improvements.
