About the role

Test Engineer role focused on end-to-end functional testing of IEEE 802.11 wireless technologies for Google Pixel devices, with emphasis on automation, throughput/latency analysis, and collaboration across firmware, software, and hardware teams to ensure high-quality hardware-software integration.

Responsibilities

  • Plan, build, and execute end-to-end functional test cases covering IEEE 802.11 MAC/PHY protocol features, association/authentication state machines, WPA2/WPA3 security protocols, and 802.11k/v/r fast roaming.
  • Perform rigorous throughput, latency, rate-vs-range, rate-vs-orientation, coexistence/interoperability testing in conductive and Over-The-Air RF environments, and design, build, and maintain automated test suites and frameworks using Python, with CI/CD integration and automated test bed orchestration.
  • Utilize packet capture tools (Wireshark, Omnipeek) and RF protocol analyzers to debug frame-level issues, channel access bottlenecks, beamforming behavior, and connection drops.
  • Maintain and calibrate state-of-the-art wireless test setups (RF attenuation chambers, shielded enclosures, programmable attenuators, channel emulators, traffic generation tools such as IxChariot, Spirent, OctoScope, Iperf).
  • Partner with firmware, software, hardware teams to isolate root causes, track defects, provide actionable debug logs, and verify bug fixes.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5 years of experience in Wi-Fi functional and performance testing.
  • Experience with IEEE 802.11 standards (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be) and protocols, including MAC/PHY interaction, frame structures, MIMO/MU-MIMO, OFDMA, channel bonding, and mesh networking architectures.
