Data Center Equipment Manufacturing Engineer

Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.

As a Data Center Manufacturing Engineer, you will act as the technical bridge between design innovation and operational reality, driving the product life-cycle from initial planning to mass production. You will ensure product manufacturability through early DFx engagement and feasibility analysis, proactively identifying design risks before they reach the factory floor. In this role, you will own the technical capability assessment of the supply chain, ensuring vendors meet manufacturing standards and capacity requirements. You will drive operational excellence using Lean principles, such as PFEP (Plan For Every Part) and Value Engineering. Your leadership will ensure our data centers receive high-quality products on time, supported by robust test strategies and proactive risk mitigation.

Google is an engineering company at heart. We hire people with a broad set of technical skills who are ready to take on some of technology's greatest challenges and make an impact on users around the world. At Google, engineers not only revolutionize search, they routinely work on scalability and storage solutions, large-scale applications and entirely new platforms for developers around the world. From Google Ads to Chrome, Android to YouTube, social to local, Google engineers are changing the world one technological achievement after another.

Responsibilities

• Lead comprehensive Design for Excellence (DFx) Feasibility Reviews and generate DFM Feasibility Reports during the Concept Readiness phase to identify and resolve "Red Flag" features before design freeze.
• Validate mass production readiness through Run-at-Rate Validation Reports and Line Balancing Charts to align Takt time with cycle time.
  
• Execute Vendor Capability Assessments and Factory Readiness Gap Analyses to ensure supply chain maturity, enforcing strict process quality through reviews of Process Capability Reports, Control Plans, and Gage R&R Reports.
• Advocate risk management by leading PFMEAs (with RPN reduction goals) and conducting Pareto Analysis and Root Cause Analysis (8D) for any manufacturing issues.
  
• Define and validate Test Strategy and Fixture Design, ensuring Fixture Design Approval Signoff and overseeing the cut-in of engineering changes (ECOs) to re-validate fixtures as needed.
  

Minimum qualifications:
