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.

Fitbit’s wide range of innovative products, including smartwatches, trackers, and a smart scale, help people lead healthier, more active lives by empowering them with data, inspiration, and guidance to reach their health and fitness goals.

Responsibilities

• Work with the internal team to evaluate and select components and new technologies for next generation products based on product roadmap and end-user experiences.
• Design, develop, and review systems and sub-components from concept to mass production. Perform detailed direct development to bring your design to mass production by setting factory test requirements, assisting in software bring-up, traveling on-site to the manufacturer to ensure the design is built and tested successfully.
• Create system specifications and plan/lead validation of your designs. Lead complete functional verification, signal characterization, power modeling/test, and system coexistence testing.
• Drive resolution of cross-functional issues including those related to architecture, production, and development (e.g., schematic design and review, PCB layout, and overall system integration).
• Work with and manage manufacturing partners to establish mutually beneficial relationships for future product designs.
