About The Job

Our computational challenges are so big, complex and unique we can’t just purchase off-the-shelf hardware, we’ve got to make it ourselves. Your team designs and builds the hardware, software and networking technologies that power all of Google’s services. As a Hardware Engineer, you design and build the systems that are the heart of the world’s largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. You develop from the lowest levels of circuit design to large system design and see those systems all the way through to high volume manufacturing. Your work has the potential to shape the machinery that goes into our cutting-edge data centers affecting millions of Google users.

Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Google Engineers develop technologies that influence how users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another.

Our Devices and Services team combines Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create helpful experiences for users. Our Hardware team works to make people’s lives better through technology. We also research, design, and develop technologies and hardware to make our user’s interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful.

As a CAD Design Engineer, you will develop devices and services for our users. You will also work to find ways to capture and sense the world around us by advancing form factors or improving interaction methods.

Our Devices & Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user’s interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices & Services team is making people’s lives better through technology.

Responsibilities

• Work with cross-functional teams to set up the mechanical outline, stackup, and constraints of the board.
• Execute component placement and routing of boards and flexible printed circuits (FPC). Participate in design reviews by providing expert recommendations.
• Interface with vendors to select and use correct impedance rules, including design for manufacturing (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and design for testability (DFT) rulesets.
• Generate manufacturing files and address any internal or external DFM feedback. Work with Hardware Engineers, PCB Designers, Mechanical Designers, and vendors for the development and sustaining of products.
