About The Job

Google has one of the largest and most powerful computing infrastructures in the world. Your team is responsible for providing the manufacturing capability to deliver this state-of-the-art physical infrastructure. As a Manufacturing Engineer, you evaluate the product designs and create the processes, tools and procedures behind Google's powerful search technology. When vendors build parts for our infrastructure, you're right there alongside ensuring manufacturing processes are repeatable and controlled. You collaborate with Commodity Managers and Design Engineers to determine Google's infrastructure needs and product specifications. Your work ensures the various pieces of Google's infrastructure fit together perfectly and keep our systems humming along 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

• Define, lead, and track SoC products operations covering NPI and HVM across all manufacturing insertions, chip probe, final test, system level test, burn in to drive cost reduction, yield improvements and proactively identify/address capacity or quality issues across the manufacturing flow.
• Use demand forecasts to drive readiness across manufacturing suppliers, foundry, OSAT and test equipment vendors.
• Utilize AI/ML models and data analysis tools to identify trends that may impact product delivery schedules/quantity/quality.
• Work with design, engineering, operations, and product management teams to gather inputs, validate forecasts, and ensure SoC manufacturing execution is aligned with business objectives.
• Collaborate with supply chain to optimize inventory levels based on demand forecasts and ensure manufacturing capacity is not a limiter. Build and deploy real time product health and WIP tracking reporting infrastructure.
