As a Server Qualification Engineer, you will qualify new servers and specialized hardware for Google's data centers.

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 Research and Development (RandD) lab, you plan for and execute the most effective way these tests at scale for the entire global team. Working closely with design engineers, you give input on designs to improve the hardware until you are sure it meets Google's standards of quality, reliability, and security.

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. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

• Create test plans and coordinate resources across many test environments. Perform electrical, functional, reliability, and performance tests to ensure hardware solutions meet Google's requirements.
• Report bugs and drive corrective action where needed with external suppliers or internal development teams. Maintain and improve the qualification process.
• Work with ODMs/JDMs to ensure testing to meet Google standards. Run validation scripts for cross platform x86/ARM/GPU. 
• Run common interface (such as PCIe/CXL/Memory/I2C/I3C/SPI/eSPI) test methodology and tool development. Develop test and evaluate component performance (Network, Storage, GPU, memory).
• Test framework script (python, shell script).
