Google Senior Structural Simulation and Testing Engineer, Pixel Watch in Mountain View, California

Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

  • 5 years of experience with structural simulation of mechanical components such as plastic or metal parts, mechanical assemblies, printed circuit boards, or flexes.

  • 5 years of experience using Finite Element Analysis tools such as ABAQUS, ANSYS, or similar.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Master's degree or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a similar field.

  • 8 years of experience in structural analysis and testing for consumer hardware.

  • 3 years of experience in a mechanical test lab using Instron, DMA, DIC, strain gauge boxes, creating test plans and preparing data analysis, as well as reports for nonlinear materials and systems.

  • Experience with the development and integration of electro-mechanical components (e.g., display assemblies, batteries, antennas).

  • Experience with 3D CAD (e.g., NX, ProE, or Solidworks), to design test fixtures using and working with internal/external fabrication shops to build fixtures.

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.
