About the jobGoogle's custom-designed machines make up one of the largest and most powerful computing infrastructures in the world. The Hardware Testing Engineering team ensures that this cutting-edge equipment is reliable. In the R&D lab, you design test equipment for prototypes of our machinery and develop the protocols used to scale these tests for the entire global team. Working closely with design engineers, you give input on designs to improve our hardware until you're sure it meets Google's standards of quality and reliability.
In this role, you will join the team responsible for setting and managing the supplier quality and reliability standards for Thermal Infrastructure across Google's supply base. You will be a Quality and Reliability expert and will improve the quality of thermal deliverables during New Product Introduction (NPI) as well as maintaining it throughout the lifecycle. You will work with the tools, processes, and technologies to assess thermal product quality. You will use data insights to inform and improve manufacturing processes.
The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what's possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.
We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.
Responsibilities
- Oversee the supplier quality and reliability of thermal deliverables throughout the lifecycle. Drive cross-functional activities in the supply chain for overall NPI phases and Mass Production.
- Provide consultation to the design, manufacturing and commodity teams in qualification, and application of thermal technologies.
- Assess supplier capabilities from a quality perspective as part of new supplier selection activities.
- Define and ensure processes in place to provide the data required to manage quality and reliability. Share Parts Per Million (PPM) feedback from the fleet and drive Return Material Authorization (RMA), Corrective Action Requests (CAR), Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA) and Failure Analysis (FA).
- Establish quality programs and process controls for detection of issues and to ensure the quality is delivered (e.g., gauge RandR, Cpk's, 8D's). Utilize Design of Experiments (DOE's), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
