About the job

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.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.

We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.

Responsibilities

• Assist in developing and deploying test solutions for new products with global manufacturing partners, collaborating with NPI and executive engineering teams to understand test requirements and support DFT (Design for Test) reviews.
• Support daily test operations for sustaining products by helping to deploy, validate, and maintain software and hardware updates on manufacturing test lines.
• Contribute to initiatives aimed at optimizing test processes, improving test coverage, and reducing cycle times, while working collaboratively with cross-functional teams.
• Participate in the investigation of manufacturing yield issues and field escapes, helping to analyze data and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
• Draft and maintain clear documentation for test processes, setup procedures, and troubleshooting guides to help standardize practices across internal teams and external partners.
