Test Engineer, Google Home

Google Home is seeking a Test Engineer to join their team focused on hardware, software, and services for the smart home ecosystem. This role combines software engineering and quality assurance, requiring expertise in test automation and consumer electronics. You'll be responsible for developing comprehensive test strategies for smart home products, building automated testing infrastructure, and ensuring the quality of Google's home devices and features.

The position involves working with cutting-edge smart home technologies, from thermostats to smart displays, as part of Google's mission to create a more helpful home environment. You'll be developing virtualization solutions, device simulators, and automated validation systems to ensure product quality and reliability.

The role requires strong programming skills in languages like Python, Java, or C/C++, combined with deep understanding of testing methodologies and consumer electronics.

As part of the Google Home team, you'll contribute to Google's growing suite of smart home products, working at the intersection of hardware and software. You'll collaborate with multiple stakeholders, analyze root causes of issues, and drive improvements in product quality through automated testing and monitoring systems.

The ideal candidate will have experience with low power devices, sensor technologies, and home automation, along with excellent problem-solving skills. This role offers the opportunity to impact millions of users while working with Google's innovative smart home technologies.
