Staff Electrical Manufacturing Engineer, Google Cloud

About the job

As an Electrical Manufacturing Engineer for the New Technology Introduction process, you are an integral part of the Physical Infrastructure Engineering (PIE) team. You will join the team that is responsible for releasing Google’s hardware to mass production and developing a supply chain to deliver it. You will lead the development and scale of new PCBA manufacturing and materials technologies to enable the growing roadmap of Google Cloud data center products. You will be the technical expert for advanced manufacturing processes and provide technical leadership for the delivery of approaches and processes for our product development efforts.

In this role, you will work cross-functionally to influence technology direction and adoption for our data center products. You will also ensure that our supply chain stack is fully readied to execute novel manufacturing and test approaches in production environments.Our Platforms Infrastructure Engineering team designs and builds the hardware and software technologies that power all of Google's services. Our computational challenges are complex and unique, enabled by cutting-edge custom hardware designed and made in-house. As a hardware engineer, you will design and build the systems that are the heart of the world's largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. You will see those systems from concept 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.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
