Google has one of the largest and most powerful computing infrastructures in the world. Your team is responsible for providing the manufacturing capability to deliver this state-of-the-art physical infrastructure. As a Manufacturing Engineer, you evaluate the product designs and create the processes, tools and procedures behind Google's powerful search technology. When vendors build parts for our infrastructure, you're right there alongside ensuring manufacturing processes are repeatable and controlled. You collaborate with Commodity Managers and Design Engineers to determine Google's infrastructure needs and product specifications. Your work ensures the various pieces of Google's infrastructure fit together perfectly and keep our systems humming along smoothly for a seamless user experience.

In this role, you will partner closely with Design Engineering and Industrial Design teams to drive and guide early design decisions, and collaborate effectively with manufacturing partners and equipment providers to develop robust, efficient, cost-effective, high volume assembly processes and solutions. You will be heavily involved in the entire product development process, from architecture selection to assembly process creation to factory implementation and qualification.

• Drive product definition and architecture selection, in collaboration with Industrial Design teams, via early DFx engagement in areas such as precision electronic assembly, automation, sealing, adhesives, metal fabrication and finishing, injection molding, display design, PCBA design and fabrication, and leak testing.

• Identify, investigate, analyze, and integrate new manufacturing processes, technology, and equipment in support of program goals.

• Develop manufacturing processes and fixtures in collaboration with manufacturing partners by identifying functional requirements, researching, designing, modifying, and testing manufacturing methods and equipment, and conferring with equipment providers.

• Improve manufacturing efficiency via analysis and planning of work flow, space requirements, production capacity, and equipment layout.
