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.

The scope of the Central Test Engineering team spans hardware and software, and across Engineering and Operations as the team that knows how to successfully ship high volume Consumer Products while balancing engineering and operational priorities. In this role, you will be in one or all of the following product families: VR, Wearables, Phones, Laptops, and Home. You will own one of the key consumer satisfaction metrics - functional performance of the device. As a key member of the cross-functional team that will launch the product, you will be an integral part of Google’s hardware success.

As a Camera Test Engineer in the Central Test Engineering team, you will manage the testing of the functional performance of camera devices and use your camera/optics/computer vision expertise to develop multiple machine learning based automatic optical inspections stations for production lines.

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

• Develop factory test stations with a focus on camera and/or automatic optical inspection solutions and deploy those solutions to multiple factories for production lines from NPI to mass production (MP) stage.
• Design computer vision or image processing algorithms to investigate camera and/or assembly failures.
• Analyze the build data (yield, overkill, escape rate) to improve the detection algorithm accuracy and stabilize station hardware setup involving camera optics and lighting condition.
• Collaborate with the Design/Engineering/Assembly/PD team on functional or assembly specs for the product and make recommendations to design and test coverage improvement.
• Work with original design manufacturer (ODM), Joint Development Manufacturer (JDM), and contract manufacturer (CM) partners to integrate the full test station including both hardware (camera, optics, mechanics) and software (test scripts, station software, and test algorithms) to production lines.
