About the job
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 Manufacturing Engineering Manager for Electrical Data Center Equipment, you will architect the interface between design innovation and global scale, governing the manufacturing life-cycle for Google’s mission-critical electrical infrastructure. You will lead an engineering team to institutionalize Design for Excellence (DFx) frameworks, ensuring power systems from switchgear to modular Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) are optimized for rapid and reliable deployment.
You will drive supply chain agility by orchestrating technical vendor audits and Factory Readiness Gap Analyses (FRGA) across a network of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Integrators. By enforcing advanced process controls and lean methodologies, you ensure systemic operational excellence. Your leadership centralizes global risk mitigation through standardized Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) governance and data-driven test strategies. Ultimately, you will be responsible for building a responsive, high-velocity manufacturing engine that translates electrical design into a resilient, scalable, and high-quality global data center footprint.
Responsibilities
- Define and enforce the DFx (Design for Manufacturing, Assembly, and Serviceability) roadmap for data center hardware, ensuring consistency across all Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partners during Concept Readiness (CR).
- Lead executive-level Feasibility Reviews (FR) to resolve "Red Flag" features, balancing product design goals with global supply chain scalability.
- Implement a standard Design for Manufacturing (DFM) reporting structure that allows for rapid design iterations, ensuring a seamless transition from concept to design freeze.
- Oversee global Run-at-Rate (RaR) validations and Line Balancing (LB) strategies; ensure that Takt-to-Cycle (T/C) time alignment is optimized across multiple global integrators to meet Google’s fluctuating demand.
- Direct the development of standardized Process Flow Diagrams (PFD) and Material Presentation Plans (MPP) to ensure lean logistics and "Right-Part-at-Right-Time" delivery to the line.
