　　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.

　　As a Test Engineer on the Tablets and Home team, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams in multiple sites internationally. In this team, you will have opportunities to drive test strategies, test automation, and positively impact product quality by working with various stakeholders across product, feature, and engineering development teams to deliver quality products to users.
