About the job
Our computational challenges are so big, complex and unique we can't just purchase off-the-shelf hardware, we've got to make it ourselves. Your team designs and builds the hardware, software and networking technologies that power all of Google's services. As a Hardware Engineer, you design and build the systems that are the heart of the world's largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. You develop from the lowest levels of circuit design to large system design and see those systems 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.
With your technical expertise, you lead projects in multiple areas of expertise (i.e., engineering domains or systems) within a data center facility, including construction and equipment installation/troubleshooting/debugging with vendors.
As a Hardware Verification Engineer, you will focus on making significant contributions to all phases of designing, new feature specification, testing procedures development, and validating hardware and system-level tests. You will help conduct audits of performance qualification processes to ensure compliance with internal or regulatory requirements. In this role, you will assist the Engineering team with root cause analysis for problems identified during verification testing and utilize a variety of debugging tools and methodologies to isolate and analyze problems. You will contribute to cross-project collaborations and reviews by working in teams and sharing knowledge related to all steps of design verification.
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.
