About The Job

As a Reliability Engineer, you will play a key role in creating new consumer electronic products that meet a high bar for reliability and performance. You will work closely with the product management and design engineering teams to define standards, specify tests, and then supervise test execution and failure analysis. A broad engineering background and command of statistical methods will help to inform design of new products. Your strong interpersonal and communication skills will be key to ensuring adoption of your technical recommendations.

The Failure Analysis group within Reliability Engineering conducts investigations into failed materials, components, assemblies, and products during development, production, and use for multiple groups within Hardware. The team uses its state-of-the-art facilities and equipment to study the characteristics of materials and their failure mechanisms. In this role, you will work closely with Product teams and other cross-functional teams to drive corrective actions within Hardware and within the supply chain.

Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Consumer Hardware team researches, designs, and develops new technologies and hardware to make our user’s interaction with computing faster, more powerful, and seamless. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, our Consumer Hardware team is making people’s lives better through technology.

Responsibilities

• Investigate failures, identify root cause, and work to drive corrective actions with product teams within Hardware and within Google.
• Develop novel methods for analysis using in-house equipment which reduce cost and improve turnaround time of investigations.
• Use materials expertise to help select materials and specify testing for materials qualification.
• Work with partners/vendors/internal teams to develop excellent materials for product teams.
• Take ownership of laboratory and analytical equipment.
