Principal TPM, Modular Manufacturing & Industrial Eng

Google LLC; Sunnyvale (CA); On-site; USD 281,000 - 391,000; Full time

Job summary

Google LLC is seeking a Principal TPM for Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering to lead the industrialization of modular data center platforms. You will translate a modular infrastructure strategy into executable, factory-based manufacturing, bridging design, external fabrication, and on-site deployment.

Your remit covers structural modules, power skids, liquid cooling, and AI compute hardware. You will optimize processes, reduce field work, and drive first-pass quality across global partners

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 15 years of technical program management, manufacturing engineering, or industrial engineering experience spanning integrated physical/hardware systems.
• 10 years applying DFM/A, Lean Manufacturing, and process optimization to electromechanical or mission-critical systems.
• 10 years working directly 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.
