Senior Advanced Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer

The Product Infrastructure Advanced Operations Engineering Mechanical Team delivers mechanical solutions for Google Cloud, responsible for serving all of Google's functions and customers. Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom electro-mechanical solutions for the future of Google's Cloud computing and Machine Learning.

In this role, you will be a technical process and product development lead for all of Google's compute hardware, including our industry leading AI solutions, serving all of Google's internal and external Cloud customers. Using a deep understanding of manufacturing processes such as stamping, molding, casting, extrusion, machining, assembly, you will enable product design and development for next generation E/M solutions at scale. You will not only help guide qualification of new processes and suppliers but you will also guide teams to optimize designs, production processes, manufacturing lines, and vendors to help build better supply chains. With an understanding of design methods, tools, and requirements, you will advocate team efforts to provide design for excellence (DFx) feedback, tolerance stack analysis, and mechanical design considerations to enable manufacturing, automation, and scalability.

From software to hardware, our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyper-scale 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.
