About the job
Google's custom-designed equipment makes up one of the largest and most powerful computing infrastructures in the world. The Advanced Operation Engineering team is responsible for providing the manufacturing capability to deliver this infrastructure.
In this role, you evaluate the product designs, create the processes, tools, and procedures powering Google’s technical infrastructure. When manufacturing partners manufacture our infrastructure components, you are onsite ensuring manufacturing processes are repeatable and controlled. You collaborate with cross-functional engineers to determine Google’s infrastructure needs and product specifications. Your work ensures the pieces of Google’s infrastructure fit together and keep our systems running smoothly for a seamless user experience.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
Responsibilities
- Support the advanced manufacturing engineer in development of innovative manufacturing processes solutions and capabilities including industry first process definition, startup, and qualification.
- Develop manufacturing documentation (Bill of Materials (BOMs), assembly drawings, work instructions) to support new product introductions, and establish and maintain manufacturing and quality processes for Google's new technologies, utilizing existing tools and processes to ensure effective production.
- Strategize the implementation of innovative manufacturing processes into established production and capacity planning to achieve forecast targets.
- Collaborate with design and cross-functional engineering teams throughout NPI phases to identify value engineering opportunities, ensure robust
Design for Excellence (Dfx) and manufacturability. - Work closely with manufacturing partners in build readiness, process validation, solve complex design and manufacturing tests efficiently to meet project timing and ensure flawless New Product Introduction (NPI) launch.
