This role places you at the forefront of operations communication with cross-functional teams, directly impacting new product development. With an understanding of Contract Manufacturing (CM) and Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) environments, you will inspire and lead a team to uphold the highest product design and build standards.
The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's various computing software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our first party devices and services that combine the best of Google AI, software, and hardware. Teams across this area research, design, and develop new technologies to make our user's interaction with computing faster and more seamless, building innovative experiences for our users around the world.Responsibilities
- Manage factory test stations from conceptualization to sustaining, serving as the primary point of contact for internal and external teams while overseeing test readiness, risks, and communication.
- Develop and optimize test strategies across the entire production line, including simultaneous multithreading, sub-assembly, and Final Assembly, Test, Pack (FATP) processes.
- Drive yield, retest, and general test issues for the test line.
- Collaborate with Contract Manufacturers (CMs) on test processes, fixture readiness, cycle time, and line balance, while managing schedules and planning for all test engineering deliverables.
- Partner with suppliers and engineering teams to develop comprehensive test coverage, assessing process flow, equipment/fixture designs, process controls, implementation schedules, and validation plans before any engineering build.
