System Level Test Engineer, Automation and Tooling

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  
• 4 years of experience in automated test tools development for system level test, automatic test equipment, and bench characterization.
• Experience in C, C++ or C#, and scripting languages such as Python.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience working within a semiconductor, silicon validation, or High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) environment.
• Experience in designing and building Graphical User Interface (GUI)/web based dashboards for data visualization, and complex test data analysis and version control (Git/Perforce)
• Experience in troubleshooting and debugging automation infrastructure and test scripts to ensure system reliability.
• Knowledge of embedded system, Linux/Android environments, or specific memory/interface protocols (e.g., DDR, UFS, MPHY).
• Knowledge of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) principles and testing methodologies (regression, integration).
• Familiarity with database technologies (e.g., SQL) and programing (C/C++) for interfacing with hardware or test routines.

Our computational challenges are so big, complex and unique we can't just purchase off-the-shelf hardware, we've got to make it ourselves. Your team designs and builds the hardware, software and networking technologies that power all of Google's services. As a Hardware Engineer, you design and build the systems that are the heart of the world's largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. You develop from the lowest levels of circuit design to large system design and see those systems all the way through to high volume manufacturing. Your work has the potential to shape the machinery that goes into our data centers affecting millions of Google users.

The System Level Test (SLT) team's mission is fundamentally about ensuring the highest quality and reliability of SoCs by testing them in an environment that closely mimics their final real-world application. We are the ultimate quality gate and the last line of defense, catching complex, high-impact functional defects that escape all other manufacturing tests. SLT doesn’t just test components, instead we design custom hardware, write low level driver/firmware, develop production software architecture, and data analytic toolings, etc. We operate at the intersection of hardware, software, and data science.

In this role, you will work in the most complex failure modes using technologies to solve the problem. You will accelerate the debug cycle and enable rapid yield ramp-up for new products. With your technical insights, you will translate immediately into measurable improvements in manufacturing efficiency and product profitability.

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people's lives better through technology.
