About The Job

As a member of a fast-paced multi-disciplinary team, you use your creativity and diverse range of
engineering experience to explore solutions to a variety of engineering problems. As a mechanical engineer,
you participate in the design, analysis, and prototyping of new concepts. You work in a manufacturing and
product oriented development environment and collaborate with vendors and outside sources in order to
see parts through to manufacture.

As a Thermal Engineer, you will solve thermal problems creatively. You will model systems virtually and
invent solutions. In this role, you will actively communicate with hardware and software teams to establish a
design direction, create prototypes that prove it, and work to scale that prototype. You will design products
that satisfy all performance and reliability specifications and optimize efficiency, flexibility, and the total cost
of ownership.

The Google Pixel team focuses on designing and delivering the world's most helpful mobile experience. The
team works on shaping the future of Pixel devices and services through some of the most advanced
designs, techniques, products, and experiences in consumer electronics. This includes bringing together the
best of Google’s artificial intelligence, software, and hardware to build global smartphones and create
transformative experiences for users across the world.

Responsibilities

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.
