Google's custom-designed machines make up one of the largest and most powerful computing infrastructures in the world. The Hardware Testing Engineering team ensures that this cutting-edge equipment is reliable. In the R&D lab, you design test equipment for prototypes of our machinery and develop the protocols used to scale these tests for the entire global team. Working closely with design engineers, you give input on designs to improve our hardware until you're sure it meets Google's standards of quality and reliability.

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.

• Work closely with hardware design teams and suppliers to understand new project architectures and subsequently develop test plans and conduct compliance testing to extract key data to validate that all safety goals are met in accordance with relevant standards and specifications.

• Resolve non-compliant issues by the most efficient and cost effective methods. Communicate findings, risks and recommendations.

• Cultivate good working relationships with customers, external suppliers, agencies and manufacturing to further safety goals. This may require providing training to internal customers where necessary.

• Perform failure analysis and sustaining engineering of deployed products.

• Develop strategy and roadmap for power, cooling, and data center infrastructure.
