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.
The Google Pixel team focuses on designing and delivering the world's most helpful mobile experience. The team works on shaping the future of Pixel devices and services through some of the most advanced designs, techniques, products, and experiences in consumer electronics. This includes bringing together the best of Google’s artificial intelligence, software, and hardware to build global smartphones and create transformative experiences for users across the world.
Responsibilities
- Own a technical area and define the test framework, test preconditions, and other test control and reporting functions to enable others to test functionality.
- Develop scalable and reliable automated tests and frameworks at the component and integration testing levels, using both emulated and physical hardware.
- Develop test plans based on product excellence/test strategy for both system and user level. Conduct test plan reviews with engineers within one or multiple teams.
- Utilize and/or develop automation tools or scripts to improve product and engineering health.
- Write clear annotated code that can be easily reviewed by peers.
