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.
The Google Home team focuses on hardware, software and services offerings for the home, ranging from thermostats to smart displays. The Home team researches, 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
- Develop test strategy for new smart home products and features, and develop virtualization and device simulators based automated feature validation.
- Build an automated test suited to validate Google devices working together in a continuous integration system.
- Validate algorithms running on devices and validate improvements to ship high quality products.
- Develop test hooks to monitor code health and system stability, and identify key product indicators and build analytics that drive new features and improvements.
- Identify root-cause failures and indicator changes, through automated analysis.
