Product Quality Engineer
Job Description
About the job
Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.
As a Product Quality Engineer, you will lead end-to-end product quality implementation between internal teams and contract manufacturers/suppliers. You will bridge the quality landscape from basic visual inspection to advanced design for quality and manufacturability by leveraging high-fidelity data to ensure customer satisfaction.
In this role, you will partner with cross-functional teams—including product management, design, system engineering, operations, and supply chain to build a proactive and preventive mindset, cultivate a continuous improvement culture, and aim for predictable ramps and spill-free product launches.
Responsibilities
• Lead Product Quality Plans (PQP) that shift the focus from basic visual inspections to data-driven "design for quality and manufacturability," ensuring proper quality test coverage and detection.
• Partner with engineering during New Product Introduction (NPI) to validate design intent (Tolerance Analysis), ensure scalability, and optimize specifications using high-fidelity data.
• Utilize Design of Experiments (DOE) and Statistical Process Control (SPC) to verify that manufacturing processes are stable and highly capable (CpK > 1.33).
• Enhance factory detection capabilities by implementing high-fidelity measurement tools and capabilities. Drive rapid root-cause analysis using advanced techniques like X-Ray and CT scanning.
• Protect the final assembly line by strictly managing Incoming Quality Control (IQC). Lead cosmetic quality by setting clear specifications, managing limit samples, and transitioning to objective, automated measurements.
Minimum qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Industrial/Manufacturing Engineering or Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• 3 years of experience with electronics manufacturing, specifically with watch and buds or other wearable/consumer electronics.
• 5 years of experience with product quality development and implementation.
Preferred qualifications:
• Master's degree in Applied Chemistry Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience in preventing quality loss in the early stages of manufacturing, and implementing early field failure detection strategies such as rolling reliability testing.
• Experience in leading cross-functional problem-solving teams using practical approaches like Quality Metrics, Design of Experiments (DOE), Statistical Process Control (SPC), and Six Sigma methodologies.
• Understanding of process capability demonstration (CpK > 1.33), design margin analysis, and the implementation of high-fidelity measurement systems.
• Ability to communicate in Mandarin fluently, to liaise with relevant stakeholders.
