About The Job

Our computational challenges are so big and unique we can't just buy our hardware, we've got to make it ourselves. Our Platforms Team designs and builds the hardware, software and networking technologies that power all of Google's services. As a Mechanical Engineer you design and evaluate our data center systems, identifying product requirements and contributing to research and project planning. From the chip to chiller, you are responsible for designing and optimizing an architecture that will scale with Google's continued growth.

With your technical expertise, you lead and manage projects, develop product and process improvements, provide consultation to others and help facilitate training and development.

Google Pixel Watch brings amazing wearable products to the market that are loved by millions. The structural design team is part of the Google Predictive Engineering and Methods team. Our mission is to design and develop top-notch quality Google hardware products through predictable and efficient simulation and validation.

Responsibilities

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify risk, create analysis/simulation/validation plan, brainstorm and propose solutions to problems based on analysis data, iterate through the entire product development cycle to optimize the design to achieve product performance objectives.
Own and drive analysis of cutting edge designs, enabling early optimization prior to prototyping and root cause and failure analysis of complex mechanical problems.
Generate FEA/analytical models of mechanical parts, modules, and assemblies; Use Static, dynamic, structural and thermal-mechanical analysis and create and develop methods to predict field failure models.
Build simulation models by using verification, calibration, and validation techniques and best practices leading to high-quality results.
Drive the exploration, validation and integration of new technologies, materials, analysis methods and tools to advance and expand team capabilities.
