Director, Modular Manufacturing & Infrastructure Programs

Google LLC; New York (NY); On-site; USD 281,000 - 391,000; Full time

Job summary

Google LLC is seeking a Principal TPM for Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering to translate modular infrastructure strategy into executable factory processes for data centers.

You will bridge design engineering, external contract manufacturing, and on-site field execution, driving rapid, standardized assembly and global rollout of modular capacity. The role emphasizes leadership and scalable manufacturing leadership.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• At least 15 years of technical program management, manufacturing engineering, or industrial engineering experience with integrated physical/hardware systems.
• At least 10 years applying Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFM/A), Lean Manufacturing and process optimization to electromechanical or mission-critical systems.
• At least 10 years coordinating with external Contract Manufacturers (CMs), Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs), or specialized industrial fabricators to stand up assembly and test lines.

Responsibilities

• Formulate and drive the multi-year manufacturing and assembly roadmap for Google’s modular data center platforms, aligning complex system architectures with industrial factory capabilities.
• Deconstruct monolithic data center systems into standardized, manufactured building blocks. Architect module boundaries across structural, cooling, power, and IT server clusters to maximize factory pre-assembly and minimize field connections.
• Advocate for DFM/A, Design for Test (DFT), and modular interface standards upstream across Hardware Engineering, Data Center Engineering, and Infrastructure design teams, ensuring products are engineered from inception for rapid off-site assembly.
• Dive into existing on-site data center construction, white-space fit-out, and compute commissioning processes. Identify labor-intensive operations and re-engineer them into off-site, factory-integrated steps.
