About the job
We are a team of Manufacturing Test Engineers in the Operations organization in charge with watch test solutions. The team owns the development, deployment, and sustaining of test software and hardware at our CM used from New Product Introduction (NPI) to Mass Production to Sustaining. Outside of our Operations Organization we work hand by hand with Electrical Engineering (EE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), Radio Frequency (RF), Research, and Sensors teams. Inside our Operations we work very closely with Quality, Reliability, and Operations.Our team supports manufacturing for the very latest trends in Smartwatches and there is always something new to learn and many opportunities to play with new and cool technologies. This role also provides opportunities to impact Operations Organizations goals because a small aimed improvement applied to all Devices Under Test (DUTs) will be automatically amplified by the volume.Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user's interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices Services team is making people's lives better through technology.

**Responsibilities**:

- Create test plans and develop test scripts for testing new products. Support and improve ongoing production test scripts for engineering deviations, yield improvement and test time reduction.
- Collaborate closely with product design and firmware engineering during new product bring-up to understand product performance and test metrics with the goal of transitioning to a factory environment.
- Collaborate closely with internal design engineering and external test system integrators on production test fixture and system design and development to ensure good functional test coverage and reproducible results.
- Provide DFX (Design for Manufacturability/Testability) feedback to development community.
- Work closely with program managers and contract manufacturers to ensure adequate test capability and capacity for engineering and production builds.
