Advanced Manufacturing Engineer, Google Cloud

Google's global deployment of custom-designed machines has created one of the largest and most powerful computing infrastructures in existence: cutting-edge innovation on a huge scale. The Platforms team designs and builds the software, hardware, computing platform and networking technologies that power all of Google's services. As an Advanced Manufacturing Engineer in Advanced Operation Engineering, you will join the team responsible for new and innovative manufacturing technology and processes enabling New Product Introduction (NPI). You will identify Design for Manufacturability (DFM) opportunities, and support delivery of the highest caliber products and fulfillment chains. 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. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide. We're the driving team behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.

Collaborate with design engineering on NPI roadmaps. Develop strategy and plans to enable new products via advanced manufacturing technology and process development. Lead experimental validation for novel technologies, materials, and processes, by developing and executing formal Designs of Experiments (DoE) to systematically identify and establish scalable manufacturing processes. Lead the research, development, and characterization of solder alloys to meet SMT and thermal requirements. Innovate manufacturing processes solutions and capabilities including industry first process definition, startup, and qualification. Coordinate with supply chain managers to identify and build up robust new manufacturing supply chains. Conduct process audits at potential suppliers and manufacturing partners where necessary. Lead efforts to align manufacturing partners process capabilities with Google products roadmap. Contribute to the team's New Technology Introduction (NTI) strategy.
