Staff Product Engineer, Opto-Mechanical Modules

Google•Fremont, CA

2h•$188,000 - $274,000

About The Position

Google's XR team is developing lightweight XR glasses that pair with AI and integrate micro-displays, optics, and opto-mechanical modules, including cameras and Display Sub-Assemblies (DSAs). Google's Raxium display group has developed semiconductor materials display technology for next-generation display products, including augmented reality and light-field display applications. The Staff Product Engineer will work on Light Engine Assemblies (LEAs), driving system-level integration, characterization, and yield optimization, while supporting product development from design through manufacturing.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
At least 6 years of experience in a product engineering role for display or semiconductor products.
At least 3 years of experience in technical leadership.
Experience setting product specifications (ERS/ICD), designing characterization experiments (DOE), and defining production binning and calibration strategies.

Nice To Haves

Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Optical Sciences, Physics, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
12 years of industry experience specializing in product engineering or module integration for AR/VR displays, optical engines, or high-precision optoelectronic systems.
Experience in electro-optical module integration across optical, mechanical, semiconductor, quality, reliability, and thermal domains.
Proficiency with statistical data modeling and automation tools such as JMP, Python, MATLAB, SQL, or R for yield modeling, parametric analysis, and Monte Carlo simulations.
Track record of guiding complex NPI optoelectronic modules from initial prototype bring-up to high-volume manufacturing.

Responsibilities

Drive system-level integration, comprehensive characterization, and yield optimization for Light Engine Assemblies (LEAs).
Establish, align, and maintain technical documentation, including Engineering Requirement Specifications (ERS), Interface Control Documents (ICDs), product datasheets, and test protocols.
Support advanced validation and verification (V&V), Design of Experiments (DOEs), and corner characterization across optical, electrical, and thermal domains to resolve complex multi-system interactions.
Deliver continuous yield improvements using statistical data modeling, failure analysis, root-cause determination, and corrective actions (FA/RC/CA), creating feedback loops between manufacturing and design.
Collaborate with design, test engineering, quality, operations, and manufacturing teams, escalating critical issues as required.
