About the job
Google isn't just a software company. The Hardware Operations team is responsible for monitoring the state-of-the-art physical infrastructure behind Google's powerful search technology. As an Operations Technician, you'll install, configure, test, troubleshoot and maintain hardware (like servers and its components) and server software (like Google's Linux cluster). You'll also take on the configuration of more complex components such as networks, routers, hubs, bridges, switches and networking protocols. You'll participate in or lead small project teams on larger installations and develop project contingency plans. A typical day involves manual movement and installation of racks, and while it can sometimes be physically demanding, you are excited to work with infrastructure that is at the cutting-edge of computer technology.
As a Hardware Reliability Engineer, you will manage the hardware reliability of new machine learning, server, networking, and storage products. You will also perform early system configuration analysis and simulations, to assess reliability capability of the design and plan of record (POR) configurations. You will perform DFR, Reliability test development for hardware targeted to survive rugged environments. You will support field excursion issues and statistical analysis needs for reliability. You will conduct Mechanical, Environmental and Operational accelerated stress test development to cover transportation, operation in challenging usage environments.
In this role, you will perform early engagement with the system architect and product teams to drive the selection of best design options, materials, and sub-components/modules/sub-systems. You will define optimal reliability plans for new products, securing resources for required samples and testing needs.
