About The Job

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.

As a Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer in our supply chain organization, you will join the team responsible for providing manufacturing support and guidance for Google’s packaging and electro-

mechanical products. You will have an understanding of the tools, processes, and techniques used to manufacture electro-mechanical products. You will be a valued partner to the Product Development team through the industry knowledge, and experience identifying/qualifying advanced manufacturing techniques and Design for Excellence (DFX) feedback.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google’s product portfolio possible. We’re proud to be our engineers’ engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

• Drive concurrent engineering through communicating design, process, tooling and material changes to Google manufacturing partners and design engineering peers.
• Perform Design for Manufacturability/Assembly (DFM/A) analysis for sheet metal (e.g., soft tool), plastic injection molded, metal stamped (e.g.,hard tool), and electro-mechanical parts and assemblies.
• Resolve manufacturing and field issues by applying knowledge and skills, and escalating design, manufacturing, and product issues to others within the organization. Identify, initiate, and drive process improvements that reduce process cycle times and cost, while maintaining exceptional quality.
• Use Product Data Management (PDM) system, create and maintain Bills of Materials (BoM), Approved Vendor Lists (AVL), and Engineering Change Request/Order (ECR/ECO) in support of Google Products.
• Identify and qualify contract manufacturers/vendors for precision sheet metal, high-volume metal stamping, and plastic injection molding tooling.
