About the job
As a Hardware Performance Test Engineer, you will support a team of hardware design, test, and qualification engineers who are responsible for prototype bring-up, validation, qualification, and failure analysis of server-related technologies (e.g., CPU, DDR memory, storage, and high-speed interconnects). You will be responsible for liaison between Hardware Engineering teams and the lab team to ensure lab resources are accounted for and to ensure we are lab-ready for new products entering the Research and Development (R&D) labs and/or sustaining efforts. You will help manage lab budget, hiring, performance management, and the well-being of the team as well as ensuring the labs are well organized and provide a safe working environment.
The ML, Systems & Cloud AI (MSCA) organization at Google designs, implements, and manages the hardware, software, machine learning, and systems infrastructure for all Google services (Search, YouTube, etc.) and Google Cloud. Our end users are Googlers, Cloud customers and the billions of people who use Google services around the world.
We prioritize security, efficiency, and reliability across everything we do - from developing our latest TPUs to running a global network, while driving towards shaping the future of hyperscale computing. Our global impact spans software and hardware, including Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, the leading AI platform for bringing Gemini models to enterprise customers.

Responsibilities
- Support various hardware prototype bring up and qualification testing activities by developing Python automation test script to facilitate system performance regression testing and failure reproduction.
- Design robust network, power, and cooling infrastructure for high and medium touched labs with remote control functionality.
- Drive development of software and infrastructure required for managing a fleet of test systems at scale to avoid manual configuration and test execution. Develop quality data collection systems and visualization of the data (i.e., measurements).
- Provide integrated software to synchronize test execution on Device-under-Test (DUT) with external smart measurement instrumentation.
- Support a team of hardware designers, qualification and test engineers, on project planning within hardware development labs, and ensure adequate resources are met.
