About the job
Google's custom-designed equipment makes up one of the largest and most powerful computing infrastructures in the world. The Manufacturing Operations 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 Product Engineer for Global Manufacturing Engineering, you will design, build, optimize, and deploy manufacturing requirements for Google’s compute infrastructure at global partner sites. You will partner with New Product Introduction (NPI) teams to define Design for Manufacturing (DFM) requirements and provide critical input into manufacturing test strategies. Your role involves providing high-caliber sustaining engineering support for both new and existing products, while driving initiatives to enhance test process efficiencies, expand test coverage, and ensure supply continuity with multi-sources strategy. You will proactively analyze, troubleshoot, and resolve manufacturing yield issues, bonepile management as well as data center field escapes, implementing corrective and preventive measures. By collaborating with internal and partner engineering teams, you will drive continuous improvement, ensuring hardware quality and performance excellence.
The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity.
