About the job

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.

‍

As a Hardware Signal Integrity Test Engineer, you will be supporting a team of hardware board and high-speed signal integrity engineers who are responsible for Hardware design, prototype bring-up, validation, qualification, and failure analysis of server-related technologies such as CPU, DDR memory, storages, onboard power and high-speed interconnects. You will also be responsible for liaison between hardware engineering teams and the lab team to ensure lab resources are accounted for and to ensure we are ‘lab-ready’ for new products entering the Research and Development (R&D) labs and/or sustaining efforts.
