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 Pixel Test team plays key role in ensuring the quality and user experience of Google Pixel and relevant devices. In this role, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams in multiple global locations, with the scope including design and develop test infrastructures/tools, in-house integration testing and carrier reports.

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.

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.
