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.
In this role, you will focus on developing automation infrastructure to test system software. You will partner with cross-functional teams to deliver high quality, power and performance optimized software to enable the best user experience on Pixel portfolio products. The System Software team builds firmware, drivers to bring our custom hardware to life. We work cross-functionally with many teams, including Research, Machine Learning, Android, Chrome, and Hardware. You will bring enthusiasm for software testing and expertise in embedded to implement testing strategies, promote good software engineering practices, and build out our testing infrastructure. Our testing needs range from traditional software tests to complex on-device testing of full Android applications.
