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 willl implement testing strategies, promote good software engineering practices, and build out our testing infrastructure and test content. Our testing needs range from traditional software tests to complex on-device testing of full Android applications.
You will typically work in small, nimble teams that collaborate on common problems across products and across focus areas. As a result, you will have exposure to a broader set of problems, which allows for fast career growth and proximity to abundant technical problems.
You'll play a crucial part in Google's success by partnering with silicon software developers and cross-functional partner teams to ensure that our products are thoroughly tested to the highest standards.
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
- Lead specific test domains within silicon software.
- Create and implement test strategies by working with development teams to identify risk areas and fill the testing gaps.
- Create test content for embedded modules such as Memory systems, CPU, Peripherals, Low power modes, Virtualization, and Security.
- Generate test content for testing AI/ML model functionality and performance.
- Automate tests using existing test frameworks and work with the Engineering Productivity team to enhance and develop new test frameworks based on test requirements.
