You will own the entire hardware development life-cycle, from early engineering verification, formal certification and sustaining.\nYou will act as a critical technical gatekeeper and diagnostic expert, as it will unblock hardware release schedules by preparing Equipment Under Test (EUT), executing test plans, launching specialized offline workloads, and performing deep root-cause failure analysis to recommend design mitigations (such as layout, grounding, or shielding changes).\nIn this role, through process automation, meticulous component qualification, and deep cross-functional collaboration with hardware design, firmware, and external lab teams, the EMC Test Engineer ensures Google’s hardware platforms satisfy both internal engineering specifications and worldwide regulatory mandates efficiently.\nOur Platforms Infrastructure Engineering team designs and builds thehardware and software technologies that power all of Google's services. Our computational challenges are complex and unique, enabled by custom hardware designed and made in-house. As a hardware engineer, you will design and build the systems that are the heart of the world's largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. You will see those systems from concept all the way through to high-volume\nmanufacturing. Your work has the potential to shape the machinery that goes into our data centers, affecting millions of Google users.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.\nUS: $132000 - $189000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits\nLearn more about benefits at Google.\nResponsibilities\nDevelop and execute full test plans (radiated/conducted emissions, immunity, ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) for NPI hardware in internal and external labs.\nLead offline bring-up for EUTs, coordinating with firmware and lab teams to deploy custom workloads for off-network validation.\nPerform root-cause analysis on compliance failures and provide actionable design recommendations (shielding, layout, grounding).\nDrive EMC/ESD qualification for sensitive high-speed components (e.g., optical modules) to act as a critical release gate.\nServe as a technical Subject Matter Expert (SME) to ensure \"compliance-by-design\" while expanding lab capabilities and authoring Standard Operating Procedure (SOPs).\nQualifications\nMinimum qualifications:\nBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a specialized field (e.g., Optics, Sensors, Audio/DSP, etc.), or equivalent practical experience.\n2 years of experience working in a hardware testing environment.\n2 years of experience in hardware compliance, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)/ Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) testing, or hardware validation.\nExperience developing and executing comprehensive EMC/EMI test plans (including radiated/conducted emissions, immunity, and ESD).\nExperience with hardware bring-up and troubleshooting, including performing root-cause analysis on compliance failures and recommend practical design mitigations (e.g., shielding, grounding, and PCB layout processing).\nPreferred qualifications:\nMaster's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field (Optics, Sensors, Audio/DSP).\n4 years of experience conducting standard immunity/emissions compliance tests (ESD, Surge, Radiated/Conducted) and root-cause failure analysis with practical shielding, filtering, and PCB layout mitigations.\nExperience operating of spectrum analyzers, receivers, generators, and amplifiers, backed by deep familiarity with global regulatory frameworks.\nKnowledge of global EMC/RF regulatory standards and compliance frameworks (FCC, CE, CISPR, IEC/EN, and KN/KS).\nAbility to lead technical projects, authored Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and executed hardware platform bring-up utilizing various software tools.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4148,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Digital
