About The Job
Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.

As a Manufacturing Test Engineer, you will develop, enhance and sustain manufacturing test processes, tools and procedures for manufacturing operation of products to be deployed at Google Data Center. When vendors build parts for our infrastructure, you'll be right there alongside ensuring manufacturing test processes are repeatable and controlled.

In addition, you will collaborate with the New Product Introduction (NPI) team, Design Engineers and Quality Engineers to drive continuous improvements to products and manufacturing processes. Your work will ensure the various pieces of Google's infrastructure fit together perfectly and keep our systems humming along smoothly for a seamless user experience.

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.

Responsibilities

• Develop and deploy robust test solutions for products in collaboration with Google's global manufacturing partners, while partnering with the New Product Introduction (NPI) team to define comprehensive test requirements and provide Design for Testing (DFT) expertise to ensure testability and manufacturability.
• Maintain smooth test operations for sustaining products by leveraging extensive manufacturing test knowledge and ensuring timely and accurate deployment of software and hardware changes to manufacturing test systems.
• Lead initiatives to optimize test processes, increase test coverage, and reduce costs, collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive continuous improvement in product quality.
• Identify, analyze, and resolve manufacturing yield issues and field escapes, implementing preventive measures to ensure closure.
• Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for test processes and procedures to ensure standardized practices with internal and external partners.
