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.

Through your leadership and professional expertise, you manage a team or teams, plan project goals and lead the overall strategy for your group.

The Manufacturing Operations team is responsible for providing the manufacturing capability to deliver the custom-designed equipment that makes up Google’s computing infrastructure. As a Product Test Lead, you evaluate the product designs and create the manufacturing test processes, tools, and procedures behind Google’s search technology. When vendors build parts for our infrastructure, you will ensure manufacturing test processes are repeatable and controlled.

You’ll collaborate with Commodity Managers and Design Engineers to determine Google’s infrastructure needs and product specifications. You will ensure the various pieces of Google’s infrastructure fit together perfectly and keep our systems humming along smoothly for a seamless user experience.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
