** About the job*
* 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.

Google's Raxium display group has established a revolutionary semiconductor materials display technology that enables new functionality in display products, bringing to users a closer and more natural linkage between the digital and physical realms in applications such as augmented reality (AR) and light-field display. With start-up roots and a state-of-the-art compound semiconductor fab in Silicon Valley, Raxium is seeking to build upon its engineering team with an aim to disrupt next-generation display markets.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

** Responsibilities*
* + Drive the specification process for a parallel wafer-level test tool, coordinating with internal teams on pad accommodations and initial bring-up plans.

+ Define and execute the hardware/software validation path, verifying individual vendor components (such as single-die verification or pin-to-pad communication) independently from the complete solution.

+ Assemble comprehensive test plans, including defining instruction sets for our unique displays.

+ Define input and output data streams with vendors, and coordinate test and information systems (IS) infrastructure to manage and transfer massive die-level datasets.

+ Define the operational flow, integrate the reliability tool with the manufacturing execution system (MES), and establish clear standard operating procedures (SOPs).
