About The Job

As a member of a fast-paced multi-disciplinary team, you use your creativity and diverse range of engineering experience to explore solutions to a variety of engineering problems. As a mechanical engineer, you participate in the design, analysis, and prototyping of new concepts. You work in a manufacturing and product oriented development environment and collaborate with vendors and outside sources in order to see parts through to manufacture.

As a Thermal Design Engineer, you will be part of an exceptional team that prides itself in collaborating with multiple cross-functional teams in bringing Nest products to the consumer. You will provide reliable and creative solutions to hard design conditions through the use of thermal simulations and testing. You will carry out design reviews and provide design feedback to the product team members.

Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. 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

• Participate in development efforts related to thermally modeling computing devices. Perform CFD-based heat transfer analysis of our Nest products and create test plans for validation.
• Manage thermal design including requirements gathering, concepts generation,detailed design, analysis and verification testing, and manufacturing release while considering cost and schedule constraints.
• Guide cross-functional team members to provide feedback on product thermal performance and appropriate design changes for various conditions and limitations.
• Provide guidance on thermal throttling along with the definition of thresholds.
• Work with vendors to implement thermal solutions such as thermal interface materials, heat pipe, heatsinks, vapor chamber, and fans, etc.
