Company mission
To organise the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.
Role
Who you are
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience
- 5 years of experience in design, analysis (i.e. thermal analysis), and shipping consumer hardware with thermal needs
- Experience with 3D computer-aided design (CAD) systems (i.e. Creo)
- Experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software (e.g., ICEPAK, Autodesk, OpenFOAM, FloTHERM) or an equivalent software
Desirable
- Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Thermal Science
- Experience with devices and services, mobile, or consumer electronics devices
- Knowledge of classical feedback control theory, dynamic system identification, and modeling/sensor interfacing
- Knowledge of cooling strategies used at the package, board, and system levels with successful application of advanced cooling technologies
- Knowledge of structural simulation tools (i.e., Abaqus CAE and/or Hypermesh)
- Knowledge of design for medium to large-scale production using technologies such as sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, machining, and die casting
What the job involves
- Engage in development efforts related to thermally modeling small form factor computing devices with a variety of heat sources (i.e., chipsets, memory, screens, radios, and sensors)
- Manage mechanical and thermal design including requirements gathering, concepts generation and detailed design, analysis and verification testing, cross-functional reviews, and manufacturing release
- Engage in overall system architecture, making interdisciplinary trade-offs to optimize total cost of ownership (TCO) of designed solutions. Manage the thermal subsystem virtual model, create thermal systems, select thermal interface materials and thermal paths, and verification testing
- Architect and influence product design by providing mechanical/thermal engineering insight into the technology roadmap. Identify and scope projects around innovation opportunities and technology risks
- Work with internal manufacturing teams and external fabrication vendors during the product development lifecycle
Our take
Google's fast growth since incorporation has triggered a chain of products, acquisitions, and partnerships beyond Google's core search engine product. Despite 80% of revenue coming from advertising services, it's known for continually investing in 'moonshot' projects (like self-driving cars) in an effort to find the next big pillar of the business.
Google recently announced an investment of $9.5bn to expand its offices and data centres in the US. This investment is connected to the company’s ambitious green goal of operating on carbon-free energy full-time by 2030, and will partly focus on setting new standards for green building design.
Following years of rapid hiring, and faced with a broader slowdown of ad spending, the company is being faced by weaker-than-expected revenue. CEO Sundar Pichai has recently announced that Google is reducing its head count by about 12,000 to adapt to global economic conditions. It will move to refocus its talent and capital to the company's highest priorities.
