About The Position

Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change
how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one
another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend
well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from
all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale
system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence,
natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is
growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project
critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as
you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be
versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new
problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.

The Platforms System Test team provides a full-system perspective on our
products, which include computation, storage, accelerators (e.g., TPU and
GPU-based supercomputers), and high-speed interconnect solutions. This mission
is accomplished by contributing to all phases of product development, including
concept, planning, development, and sustaining support. Key artifacts delivered
by the team include comprehensive System Test Plans, innovative test software
for executing user workloads on TPU/GPU systems, and directions for system
qualification and scaling. The team develops automation for execution and
creates tools and dashboards to accelerate the triage process and enhance data
visualization. As part of the broader Platforms organization, System Test
delivers the foundation for Google’s products used both internally and by our
Cloud customers.

Our Platforms Infrastructure Engineering team designs and builds the
hardware and software technologies that power all of Google's services. Our
computational challenges are complex and unique, enabled by cutting-edge custom
hardware designed and made in-house. As a hardware engineer, you will design and
build the systems that are the heart of the world's largest and most powerful
computing infrastructure. You will see those systems from concept all the way
through to high-volume manufacturing. Your work has the potential to shape the
machinery that goes into our cutting-edge data centers, affecting millions of
Google users.
