About the role

As a Manufacturing Engineering Lead supporting Google’s DCTS team, you’ll assist in scaling and optimizing the production of physical infrastructure components used in data centers. You’ll support process development, tooling coordination, and vendor engagement to ensure manufacturability and efficiency. Your role will include conducting feasibility reviews, supporting production builds, and helping validate quality and reliability standards. You’ll work closely with design, supply chain, and operations teams to provide technical input and documentation in a supporting role.

What you’ll do

• Manufacturing Test Development: Design assist, implement, and validate test plans and procedures to ensure the quality and functionality of complex assemblies throughout the production / manufacturing process.

• Quality Control & Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify high-risk failure modes using PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis). Based on the analysis, set up and execute a robust quality control strategy, including inspection protocols and process monitoring, to mitigate potential risks and prevent defects.

• Material Logistics and Presentation: Establish a robust material delivery system to ensure parts are consistently and reliably delivered to each process when needed. Design and implement effective material presentation methods, such as kitting, to minimize operator motion and search time, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

• Supplier Quality Management: Driving root cause analysis, and implementing corrective actions to ensure incoming materials meet specifications.

What you’ll need

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering

• Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States without the need for visa sponsorship now or in the future.

• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering or hardware development

• Proficiency in CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD)

• Experience supporting production builds and vendor coordination

• Strong documentation and process validation skills

• Experience with infrastructure hardware (e.g., racks, cooling systems, switchgears)
