As a Senior Opto-Mechanical Engineer, you will lead optical-display module
system design and Design for Manufacturability (
DFM) reviews of display systems integration, such as high precision alignment approaches, product interface features for integration process, and critical product interface that drives integration performance.
You will serve as the technical Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) for opto-mechanical display subsystem design, development, and implementation for head worn devices, including wave guide, display engines, and Rx lenses. You will work closely with external partners to support technology deployment and product development.
For decades, the computing revolution has reshaped our world driven by
breakthroughs in compute, connectivity, mobile, and now, AI. Google's XR team is at the forefront of the next major leap – the convergence of AI and XR. This is more than just new devices – it's about reimagining how we interact with the world around us. We're building a future where
lightweight XR devices like smart glasses and headsets pair with helpful AI to augment human intelligence, offering personalized, conversational, and contextually aware experiences.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

Responsibilities
- Drive end-to-end discussions on system assembly process down-selection, prototyping, equipment and tooling needs for high precision assembly meeting mechanical, optical and reliability requirements.
- Lead development and architecture efforts for miniaturization of novel opto-mechanical subsystems, working with other system and cross-functional leads to arrive at reusable designs optimized for consumer usage.
- Work to drive design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) efforts from early New Technology Introduction (NTI) to prototype to mass production, working closely with internal and external partners and contract manufacturers.
- Own and develop comprehensive requirements documents and tolerance stackup analyses to ensure performance and reliability of opto-mechanical systems through the conditions expected by mass production consumer hardware.
- Establish mechanical and optical datuming and metrology strategies, using these strategies to devise reliable and fixtures, measurement capabilities, and validation approaches.
Minimum qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a specialized field (e.g., Optics.), or equivalent practical experience.
- 4 years of experience working in a consumer electronics product design.
- Experience with 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software (e.g., NX or SolidWorks).
Preferred qualifications:
- Experience with opto-mechanical tolerance analysis, design for manufacturability (DFM), and design for assembly (DFA).
- Experience with optical alignment strategies, optical testing and metrology, and direct use of lab-based equipment.
- Experience bringing complex designs from NTI phase to mass production with external vendors and contract manufacturers in Asia.
- Demonstrated knowledge and optimal selection processes of materials, adhesives, and coatings used in optical systems.
