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.

The Global Hardware Quality and Reliability team is under the Cloud Supply Chain and Operations (CSCO) team, responsible for high quality components and solutions.

As a Supplier Quality Engineer, you will evaluate the product designs and create the processes, tools, and procedures behind Google’s search technology. You will collaborate with Commodity Managers and Design Engineers to determine Google’s infrastructure needs and product specifications.

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.
