About the job
For decades, the computing revolution has reshaped our world driven by breakthroughs in compute, connectivity, mobile, and now, AI. Google's XR team is at the forefront of the next major leap – the convergence of AI and XR. This is more than just new devices – it's about reimagining how we interact with the world around us. We're building a future where lightweight XR devices like smart glasses and headsets pair with helpful AI to augment human intelligence, offering personalized, conversational, and contextually aware experiences.Responsibilities
- Design complex subsystems or multiple individual parts from concept to production, including fixtures to enable automation of high precision assembly processes. Collaborate with suppliers of subsystems or individual parts throughout the design and manufacturing process.
- Drive end-to-end discussions on system assembly process down-selection, prototyping, equipment and tooling needs for high precision assembly meeting mechanical, optical and reliability requirements.
- Identify the root cause of design, manufacturing, or reliability issues and develop corrective actions. International travel to engineering builds to oversee mechanical validation, design, and assembly (~20%).
- Balance design considerations such as functionality, sustainability, reliability, human factors, manufacturability, and aesthetics. Collaborate with JDM teams supporting part design.
- Design for technical depth and innovative ideas. Solve issues associated with the product development path using creativity and smart designs.
