About the job

Be part of a diverse 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 Product Engineer on the Global Manufacturing Engineering (GME), you will primary provide sustaining support for mass production products at the Contract Manufacturer (CM)/Joint Development Manufacturer (JDM), to include driving production factory readiness for product changes, supporting component qualification, providing, training, and making sure that the desired product performance and requirement are met and maintained through resolving systemic product manufacturing issues and driving continuous improvement in product health.

In this role, you will engage in New Product Introduction (NPI) by consolidating GME input on Design for Manufacturability (DFM)/Design for Testing (DFT), FMEA items, and yield issues to be provided to the NPI team for resolution in order to meet the Product Life Cycle (PLC) phase exit criteria.

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

• Govern the product and test requirement for sustaining products.
  
• Lead NPI early engagement to drive deliverables (i.e.,Bill of Materials (BOM) readiness and multi-sourcing, First Pass Yield, manufacturing capabilities, FMEA, Design for Excellence, SOP, failure diagnostics, etc.) to meet production requirements.
  
• Support product and component qualification builds at CMs/JDMs. Drive factory readiness and provide product training. Support second source part qualification. Coordinate release of BOMs.
  
• Lead technical risk assessment for product changes, supply chain capabilities and impact to downstream. Work with Product/Production Quality Engineers (PQE) to validate product qualification plans. Work with CM and PQE to highlight risks and develop mitigation plans. Monitor and manage risk throughout the change process.
  
• Drive the product functional failures reduction, improve first pass yield at CM/JDM and reduce Return Materials/Merchandise Authorization (RMA) from data centers.
