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.

As an Audio Test Engineer, you will manage one of the key consumer satisfaction metrics - functional performance of the device. You’ll be a key member of the cross-functional team, working on launching the product. You’ll also manage factory test stations from Concept to Mass Production.

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

• Provide maintenance for factory test stations, and develop with Design/Engineering teams functional specifications for the product and implement at the factory.
• Recommend design/test coverage improvement. Be responsible for implementation, yield/parametric data, correlation, and with playing point into Software Engineering teams for factory images, test scripts, and requirements.
• Provide covers system-level, mechanical level, and test/surface mount technology/design for manufacturing. Provide test station sign-off criteria for MP and test station development for verification testing.
• Provide early field failure analysis program support and drive to closure potential test gaps/correlations issues between our extended workforce/manufacturing processes. Work with Engineering teams to define test coverage/test fixture requirements.
• Provide test software development/test fixture development and be responsible for SMT/FATP test readiness and execution. Engage with Engineering on design for testability.
