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.

As a Test Engineer on the Tablets and Home team, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams in multiple sites internationally. In this team, you will have opportunities to drive test strategies, test automation, and positively impact product quality by working with various stakeholders across product, feature, and engineering development teams to deliver quality products to users.

The Google Nest team focuses on hardware, software, and services for the home, ranging from Nest thermostats to Nest smart displays. The Google Nest team develops, designs, and develops new technologies and hardware to make users’ homes more helpful. Our mission is the helpful home: to create a home that cares for the people inside it and the world around it.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop scalable and reliable automated tests and frameworks for testing embedded hardware devices.
• Deliver test strategy based on Product Excellence for new smart home products and own test plan reviews with engineers and other stakeholders across functions.
• Own opportunities and manage efforts to improve existing test infrastructure or create new test infrastructure to increase efficiency and productivity.
• Develop virtualization and device simulators for automated feature validation.
• Identify key product indicators and build analytics that drive new features and improvements.
