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.
Pixel devices bring the Android, Google Hardware, AI, and first-party Software Apps and experiences together to the users. The Pixel Test Engineering team is responsible for developing tests, automations, infrastructure, and processes to validate Google's features on Pixel products at scale.
As a Test Engineer in Pixel software testing, you will be responsible for building and driving the Pixel software test strategy, and working with multiple Pixel development teams and Android feature teams across different regional offices.
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices & Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user's interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices & Services team is making people's lives better through technology.
Responsibilities
- Drive the strategy for automation tools or scripts to improve product and engineering health.
- Deliver test plans based on Product test strategies, and own test plan reviews with engineers and other stakeholders across functions.
- Guide the test framework, test preconditions, and other test control and reporting functions.
- Own opportunities and manage efforts to improve existing test infrastructure or create new test infrastructure to increase efficiency and productivity in test case development, scheduling, or deployment.
- Lead product design reviews with product managers, software/hardware engineers, and other stakeholders to contribute to product design, testability, and implementation.
