Electrical Manufacturing Engineer III, PIE AOE

Google•Sunnyvale, CA

12d•$132,000 - $189,000

About The Position

As an Electrical Manufacturing Engineer in the Platforms Infrastructure Engineering (PIE) Advanced Operations Engineering (AOE) team, you evaluate product designs and create the processes, tools, and procedures that power Google’s technical infrastructure. You serve as an onsite technical expert to help ensure manufacturing processes are repeatable and controlled when partners produce components. You collaborate with cross-functional engineers to determine infrastructure needs and product specifications, and lead the development and scale of new PCBA manufacturing and materials technologies for Google Cloud data center products as part of the New Technology Introduction process. The role provides technical leadership for approaches to releasing hardware to mass production, developing the supply chain, and ensuring Google’s infrastructure components work together reliably. The Platforms Infrastructure Engineering team designs and builds the hardware and software technologies that power Google’s services. Its custom hardware supports complex computational needs, and hardware engineers work on systems from concept through high-volume manufacturing. This work can shape equipment deployed in Google data centers and affect Google users.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
At least 2 years of experience in manufacturing process development in semiconductor packaging or Surface Mount Technology.
Experience developing PCBA manufacturing processes, including acceptance testing, startup, and qualification.
Experience with new site, line, or equipment bring-up, transfer, and qualification for PCBA and system integration.

Nice To Haves

Master’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
Experience with Product Data Management (PDM) tools such as SAP, Agile, or Windchill.
Experience developing effective technical relationships with contract manufacturers and vendors.
Experience in SMT manufacturing and process development for datacenter hardware, including applying DFM, DOE, thermo-mechanical dynamics, and process optimization.
Ability to drive root cause analysis, corrective actions, and continuous process improvements with cross-functional teams, contract manufacturers, and suppliers.
Ability to communicate effectively with multi-geographic teams, collaborate to achieve project goals, contribute positively to the engineering community, and manage complex projects spanning multiple technologies.

Responsibilities

Support Advanced Manufacturing Engineers in developing, defining, and qualifying industry-first manufacturing processes.
Plan and implement innovative processes in established production and capacity workflows to meet forecast targets.
Create critical manufacturing documentation, including Bills of Materials (BOM), assembly drawings, and work instructions.
Establish and maintain manufacturing and quality standards for new technologies using existing tools.
Collaborate with design teams and manufacturing partners on Design for Excellence (DfX), build readiness, and resolving design and process challenges for NPI launches.
