At Google, our philosophy is build it, break it and then rebuild it better. That thinking is at the core of how we approach testing at Google. Unlike roles with similar names at the other companies, Test Engineers at Google aren't manual testers -- you write scripts to automate testing and create tools so developers can test their own code. As a Test Engineer, you navigate Google's massive codebase, identify weak spots and constantly design better and creative ways to break software and identify potential problems. You'll have a huge impact on the quality of Google's growing suite of products and services.

You use your knowledge of testing and testability to influence better software design, promote proper engineering practice, bug prevention strategies, testability, accessibility, privacy, and other advanced quality concepts across products.

In this role, you will create, plan, and execute on repeatable, automated test approaches that simplify the validation of software systems for Google data centers while ensuring Global Server Operations requirements are met for scalability and process integration.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

+ Develop detailed, product-tailored test plans for software tools and/or workflow-related products.

+ Author detailed test reports that provide valuable insights to partners and product development teams.

+ Develop high-quality testing approaches for highly complex systems (e.g. validating the interaction of multiple software systems and workflow tools).

+ Ensure on-time delivery of test cases while gathering critical data and documenting test life cycle (e.g., setup, execution).

+ Identify and implement opportunities for leveraging automation wherever possible to ensure the quick execution of test and report processes.

The Software Test Engineer role will cover testing requirements across two related teams to perform the following:

1. Design, develop, configure, execute and document system level testing for the Force Life Management (FLM) team, which develops infrastructure and algorithms in the off-board Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS) for maintenance of the F-35 jets.

2. Configure, test and document system level testing of Airborne Vehicle Systems Prognostics Health Management (VS PHM) software, hosted on Lockheed Martins (LM) latest F-35 core processing modules. The VS PHM software takes signals from the aircraft flight controlling vehicle systems and structural sensors, performs a level of aircraft processing consumed by off aircraft maintenance and structural lifing.

The role requires a high degree of collaboration with Lockheed Martin (LM) and UK counterparts. The applicant must have an acumen for problem solving, articulating root cause and organizational skills to prepare and present findings to the broader team. The applicant will also manage and maintain the testing environment/tools for optimal functional availability.
The Software Test Engineer s responsibilities include:


+ Performing system level testing on


+ Airborne VS PHM Computer Software Configuration Items (CSCI s) using Linux based virtual test stations and LM laboratories with representative target hardware.


+ FLM core infrastructure function and Assessed Material Condition (AMC) algorithms supporting condition based maintenance.


+ Conduct Dry Run and Formal Testing


+ Create and maintain documentation used for executing tests.


+ Develop and maintain tests and testing environment.


+ Transfer candidate CSCI baselines from BAE SYSTEMS to LM infrastructure


+ Support LM PHM Domain integration activities


+ Support Results validation


+ Collaborate with BAE SYSTEMS and LM subject matter experts (SME s)


+ Routinely update the status of tests and present status to team and customers.


+ Utilize configuration management infrastructure to store and archive test logs and reports


+ Support process improvement as they relate test and results validation automation
