Employment Opportunities

EMC Design Engineer - Google, Inc.  (Feb, 2008)

This position is based in Mountain View, CA.

The Area: Platforms

Google's global deployment of custom-designed machines has created one of the largest and most powerful computing infrastructures in existence: cutting-edge innovation on a huge scale. The Platforms team designs and builds the software, hardware, computing platform and networking technologies that power all of Google's services.

The Role: EMC Design Engineer - Mountain View

As an EMC Engineer in Platforms Engineering, you will play a key role in the development of one of the world's most impressive computing infrastructures! Your objective will be to collaborate closely with our Hardware Design Teams to develop, test and qualify products to be compliant with the relevant worldwide EMC standards and regulatory requirements. This will involve engaging with various disciplines (Electrical, Mechanical, Thermal, Power etc) as early as possible in the R&D cycle to ensure compliance by design rather than retrofit at a later time. In addition you will be required to ensure all formal product certification documentation and labeling is in place for all deployment jurisdictions.

Responsibilities:

• Work closely with hardware design teams and suppliers to understand new project architectures and requirements and subsequently provide design input, develop test plans and conduct compliance testing to extract key data to validate that all EMC goals are met in accordance with the relevant regulatory standards and specifications.
• Resolve complex non-compliant issues by the most efficient and cost effective methods. Ensure findings, risks and recommendations are clearly communicated to the various cross functional teams.
• Co-ordinate the process of formal certification and subsequently maintain high quality product technical files and reports.
• Cultivate good working relationships with customers, external suppliers, test labs and manufacturing partners.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in EE, or equivalent. M.S. or PhD in EMC or related discipline desirable.
• A minimum of 8 years hands-on EMC Design experience preferably with information Technology Equipment. Strong technical background and analytical knowledge of EMC and high speed design principles coupled with familiarity with a variety of software modeling tools.
• Good general understanding of hardware design constraints and tradeoffs and an ability to find cost effective work-arounds where feasible. Ability to simultaneously investigate multiple avenues to solve problems.
• Expert knowledge of international standards and procedures related to obtaining worldwide product certifications (e.g. FCC, CISPR, ICES, VCCI, etc.)
• Familiarity with test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, LISN's, network analyzers, current probes, etc.
• Excellent understanding of product delivery life-cycles in a dynamic fast paced environment.
• Strong oral and written communication and interpersonal skills.
