Android Kernel Quality Infrastructure Engineer

The Quality Infrastructure Engineer is a crucial operational role responsible for the continuous health, stability, and performance of the automated testing environments supporting Android Kernel quality efforts. You will ensure maximum availability of the testing fleet, maintain the integrity of the CI/CD pipeline, and serve as the first responder for automated test failures. This position demands a strong focus on automation, data integrity, and strict adherence to Service Level Objectives (SLOs).

Key Responsibilities

1. Infrastructure and Fleet Reliability

• Maximum Uptime: Maintain a minimum 99.9% uptime for both physical and virtual Android device fleets essential for Android Kernel quality testing.

• Automation Health: Configure and monitor all pre-submit, post-submit, and release testing pipelines, ensuring lab automation efforts operate at a sustained 99% uptime.

• Test Maintenance: Proactively identify and fix existing Android kernel test failures and develop new test configurations or minor test code patches as requested.

2. First-Tier Triage and Resolution

• SLO-Driven Response: Perform first-tier triage for all issues resulting from automated test routines, strictly adhering to the following SLOs:

o Pre-submit Failures: Resolution/Triage within 2 business days.

o Post-submit Failures: Resolution/Triage within 5 business days.

• Issue Management: Document and track issues, providing "issue breadcrumbs" to facilitate faster root cause analysis by downstream engineering teams.

3. Reporting, Data, and Metrics

• Dashboard Development: Design and develop automated report dashboards to visualize critical metrics, focusing on lab uptime, fleet health, and key issue patterns.

• Data Integrity: Process all test result data meticulously according to established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

• Stakeholder Reporting: Prepare and deliver weekly status updates, and formally report processed test result data and insights directly to the Android Kernel Quality Lead.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of technical experience in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure QA roles, specifically supporting CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.

• Proven ability to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot test automation systems.

• Strong commitment to maintaining and exceeding high operational uptime standards (e.g., 99.9%).

• Experience with data processing and developing technical dashboards or automated reports.

• Demonstrated ability to conduct first-tier triage and rapidly analyze test failure logs in a kernel or system software context.
