About the job

A problem isn’t truly solved until it’s solved for all. That’s why Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you’ll use your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish. You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.

We are looking for a very organized QA Lead to help drive testing and QA for: software feature development, software releases for engineering teams and customers, and hardware-in-the-loop automation.

In this role, you will be directly responsible for architecting long term testing strategies, scaling the testing capacity, integrating software/firmware/hardware testing into the release roadmap, tracking both manual and automated testing coverage, and communicating and aligning quality issues and priorities with a large group of internal and external stakeholders.
Project Starline from Google combines advances in hardware and software to enable friends, families and co-workers to feel together, even when they’re cities (or countries) apart. Imagine looking through a magic window, and through that window, you see another person, life-size and in three-dimensions. As part of the Project Starline team, you'll work with researchers and engineers in a fast-paced product-oriented environment. Our teams collaborate closely with Google Workspace and Research teams. Your contributions will have an impact on the future of communications with Google products. You will apply technology to solve that really important problem that we often want to be together and we can’t.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $183,000-$271,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

Responsibilities

  • Work with software and hardware teams to define and execute functional, regression, integration, and performance testing for Project Starline systems and subsystems.
  • Scale test coverage for both manual and automated tests, with an emphasis on reducing manual testing efforts by leveraging automation, including hardware-in-the-loop.
  • Improve and enforce QA best practices, including fleet management, system deployment, system upgrades, bug tracking, test plans, and quality metrics.
  • Collaborate with developers to conduct failure analysis, identify root causes of defects, implement systematic improvements to enhance product quality and prevent recurring issues. Work with engineering, product, UX, business, and operations teams to define, track, and optimize product quality metrics, performance goals.
  • Manage QA team impact and scope growth, setting a strategy to meet long-term product development needs, identifying resource gaps and mitigation strategies, and scaling the team as needed.
