Job Description:
Minimum qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical
Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a
specialized field (e.g., Optics, Sensors, Audio/DSP, etc.), or
equivalent practical experience. 4 years of experience designing
mechanical components such as optical elements, plastic or metal
parts, mechanical assemblies, printed circuit boards, or flexes.
Experience with precision alignment for opto-mechanical assemblies.
Experience with optomechanical assemblies, Design for
Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), or optical
systems with tolerance analyses. Experience with Coefficient of
Thermal Expansion (CTE) mis-match in optical systems. Preferred
qualifications: Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering,
Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field (e.g., Optics,
Sensors, Audio/DSP). 5 years of experience with opto-mechanical
system design for mass production. Experience optimizing designs
for precision optical systems, including kinematic design and
tolerance analyses. Experience with multidisciplinary STOP analysis
(structural-thermal-optical-performance), including experience in
translating simulation results to deliver complete system analysis,
and physical testing for design validation. Experience with optical
systems, cameras, sensors, or display technologies, including
system-level understanding. Proficiency in end-to-end consumer
hardware development processes, with the ability to adapt
strategies from initial prototypes to large-scale manufacturing.
About the job The Tech-Eng Imaging and Vision team develops
cutting-edge Google Pixel hardware. As an Opto-Mechanical Engineer,
you will be instrumental in architecting next-generation devices
used by millions globally. From initial design, prototyping to
final validation phase, we develop the opto-mechanical architecture
that defines Pixel’s hardware as a vital bridge between Product
Development (PD) and Optics teams. Join the innovative Pixel Optics
team as a Senior Opto-Mechanical Engineer. You will be instrumental
in the end-to-end development of advanced opto-mechanical systems
for future Pixel products, specializing in next generation hardware
products. You will support cross-functional efforts to define
opto-mechanical architectures and ensure manufacturability,
leveraging your knowledge of Augmented Reality (AR) mechanical
systems to solve complex, ambiguity-driven design challenges. The
US base salary range for this full-time position is
$159,000-$231,000 bonus equity benefits. Our salary ranges are
determined by role, level, and location. Within the range,
individual pay is determined by work location and additional
factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant
education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the
specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring
process. Please note that the compensation details listed in US

Responsibilities Serve as an optomechanical design, development,
and implementation engineer for display system assembly, working
with PD, waveguide and ophthalmic cross-functional team members.
Own and develop comprehensive requirements documents and tolerance
analyses to ensure performance and reliability of optomechanical
systems. Drive opto-mechanical Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
and Design for Assembly (DFA) from early concept to mass
production, working closely with internal teams and external
vendors. Collaborate with metrology to develop opto-mechanical
strategies to devise modular fixtures for demo and measurement
capabilities. Translate STOP analyses for opto-mechanical design
optimization.
